Ranthambore safari reviews

Ranthambore National Park (4 days)

"Excellent trip! We have wanted to see tigers in the wild for some time, and this trip came up trumps. The tented camp was great, with good food and service, and the safari jeeps turned up promptly every morning and afternoon. It's a long way from Wales to India, so we booked six safaris to maximise our chances and saw tigers on four of these. Lots of other wildlife as well, and three days of offroading in jeep - what more could you want?" Read more
