Roar of Ranthambore: Exclusive Jaipur Tiger Safari Day

Our driver Neetu was an outstanding driver throughout our 7-day North India trip. We went to Delhi Agra Jaipur Udaipur and Jodhpur. He is always punctual, polite, and very safe on the road. His local knowledge, professionalism, and friendly nature made our journey unforgettable! Highly recommended.

On our way to Ranthambhore Fort we were very fortunate to see a Tiger, 5 minutes after entering the Park. We were able to stop and take photos

Our day trip to Ranthambore Fort and National Park with Inderraj as our driver and trip coordinator was well worth the longish round trip between Jaipur and the park. Inderraj is an excellent driver and the timing of meals and visits was perfect. My grandson and I we fortunate enough to see a tiger up close and personal in the park

Unfortunately didn't get to see tigers, but Noor was a fantastic driver and guide and made the day well worth it! He was safe and reliable, and we managed to get extra time at Ranthambore Fort and see some great things on the way! Would absolutely recommend :)

Had a good day at the fort and the safari. The fort is beautiful, and we wish there was more time to see it. On the safari, we were lucky enough to see quite a few animals, including tigers. Considering it was during the monsoon season, when most of the national park is closed, we were told.ot was quite rare.

We had a great time on our safari and got to see 6 tigers in one afternoon! Our driver Noordeen Khan was a wonderful conversationalist, answered all our questions and kept us entertained and on time. We stopped at the women's textile market before lunch, which was a lovely experience. Rathambore Park is beautiful and the wildlife is worth the trip!

Our driver, Noordeen, was very punctual and was a very helpful guide throughout the day. His driving was great and he was very helpful in answering our questions about the itinerary and general history/culture of the area. Lunch was delicious as well, but the real highlight was the tigers! We were able to see two brothers together in Zone 3 of the park. Additionally, we were able to see other wildlife that were native to the park as well. Overall, this was a great day trip from Jaipur and I’d recommend!

Booked this tour just a few days before and they handle everything very fast and it was all great. My driver Noordeen was great, good chat and excellent driver. And the best of all, I saw 4 tigers in 2 days. And this was thanks to the all the staff from vwitours that made a great effort to get me in good areas with good guides. I recommend them a lot.

Firstly, we want to make it clear that our rating and feedback are not a reflection on the driver or the company we booked through. Our driver, Ishak Khan, was outstanding — punctual, kind, and consistently went out of his way to make our trip more comfortable. Some examples that stood out: Ishak pulled over to shield our windows from the sun with fabric, moved our water bottles into an esky to keep them cold during our safari, and even stepped in to help us communicate when there was a language barrier at a restaurant. Ishak is genuinely the best tour driver we’ve had across our many travels in India. He is a wonderful, kind family man, and we wish him and his family all the best. Unfortunately, the tiger safari experience itself did not meet our expectations, which is why we cannot recommend this tour. While we fully understand that tiger sightings are never guaranteed in a national park, the poor organization and behavior we witnessed made the experience uncomfortable: • After passport checks at the gate, four local men abruptly boarded our already-full canter. We’re unsure if they were connected to the driver or had valid tickets, but their behavior — loudly moving around, creating seat confusion, eating, — made all the foreign travelers uneasy. • During the first tiger sighting, one of these men littered by throwing a plastic bottle out of the canter. Despite a mild warning from the guide, they continued to rip up paper and litter around the truck. This showed a clear lack of respect for the park and its wildlife, especially when all visitors are repeatedly asked to protect the environment. • Although the guide began with a brief English introduction, he mainly switched to Hindi after, likely due to the disruptive passengers. As a result, we received no ongoing commentary or explanations about the park or the animals, unlike other canters carrying mostly international guests. Beyond the behavior of the passengers, we want to highlight that the journey to Ranthambore is extremely demanding: • It’s nearly 4 hours each way from Jaipur through chaotic traffic, • Followed by 3 hours sitting in an open canter exposed to the intense sun, heat, dust, and pollution. • Altogether, the physical toll combined with the low chance of a tiger sighting made it a tiring and unhealthy day for us. While we are glad to have learned about tiger conservation efforts, we met several other travelers who warned us (too late) that Ranthambore often leads to disappointment. If you still decide to go, here are some strong recommendations: • Bring a wide-brim UV-protective hat and sunglasses — the sun is brutal inside the park. • Carry plenty of water — at least two bottles per person. • Bring a face mask or scarf — the road into the park is extremely dusty and polluted. • If possible, book a private Jeep tour instead of a canter. Jeeps seemed to get better access and visibility for wildlife sightings. The canters are uncomfortable, with dirty, sweaty seating, and passengers standing up block the view for others. In summary: We are truly grateful to Ishak for his care and professionalism. However, due to the overall disorganization, disruptive behavior by some passengers, and the exhausting nature of the trip, we cannot recommend this tour to others — even if you are fortunate enough to glimpse a tiger.

On the safari the guide promised to show the tigers but we have seen 3 tigers He is very polite and friendly to everyone
