Booking a Ranthambore safari is easy when you know the process in advance. Whether you are planning a Gypsy safari or Canter safari, following the correct steps can help you avoid errors and make your booking experience smoother.

As a private travel agency, we assist travelers with safari booking and permit facilitation based on availability and the applicable rules of the Forest Department.

Here is a simple step-by-step guide to booking your Ranthambore safari online.


Step 1: Explore Ranthambore Safari Information

Before making your booking, visit our website and explore the available information about Ranthambore National Park.

We recommend checking:

  • Safari zones
  • Gypsy and Canter options
  • Morning and afternoon safari timings
  • Safari rules and requirements
  • Best time to visit Ranthambore

Understanding these details beforehand will help you choose the safari option that best suits your travel plans.

Step 2: Open the Safari Booking Form

Go to the "Safari Booking" section from the website menu.

You will first need to provide your basic safari preferences and contact information.

Select Your Safari Vehicle

Choose between the available safari options:

  • Gypsy Safari — a smaller safari vehicle suitable for a more personalized experience.
  • Canter Safari — a larger shared vehicle suitable for families, groups, and budget-conscious travelers.

Vehicle availability is subject to the applicable booking inventory and park regulations.

Select Your Preferred Zone

You may be asked to select a preferred zone or zone group during the booking process.

However, final zone allocation is subject to Forest Department rules, availability, and the applicable permit system. Selecting a preference does not necessarily guarantee a particular zone.

Choose Your Safari Shift

Select the safari shift that fits your itinerary:

  • Morning Safari
  • Afternoon Safari

If you want to take more than one safari, each safari requires a separate booking.

Enter Your Contact Details

Provide accurate contact information, including:

  • Full name
  • Active mobile number
  • Valid email address

Your contact details are important for receiving booking-related communication, payment information, and confirmation documents.


Step 3: Enter Passenger Details

After proceeding with the booking, you will need to provide the required information for each passenger.

Enter all details carefully and ensure they match the traveler's identification documents.

Depending on the booking requirements, passenger information may include:

  • Full name
  • Age
  • Gender
  • Nationality
  • State of residence
  • Residential address
  • PIN code

Important: Names and other personal details should be entered accurately. Errors in passenger information can create problems during permit verification.


Step 4: Provide Identification Details

Valid identification is an important part of the safari permit process.

Depending on the applicable rules, accepted identity documents may include:

  • Aadhaar Card
  • Passport
  • Voter ID
  • Driving License
  • PAN Card

Enter the identification number carefully and double-check every character before submitting the booking.

If an ID document is required to be uploaded, make sure the uploaded copy is clear, readable, and belongs to the same passenger.

Carry Your Original ID

The passenger should carry the original identification document used for the booking on the day of the safari.

The details on the permit and the identification document should match. Any discrepancy may result in difficulties during verification or denial of entry according to the applicable Forest Department rules.


Step 5: Review the Booking & Policies

Before making the payment, carefully review your complete booking summary.

Check:

  • Safari date
  • Safari shift
  • Vehicle type
  • Passenger names
  • Passenger details
  • Identification information
  • Contact information
  • Applicable charges

Also read the relevant Terms & Conditions and Cancellation/Refund Policy before confirming your booking.

As a private travel agency, the amount payable may include applicable government safari charges along with our service or facilitation charges, where applicable.

Safari permits are subject to the rules, availability, and policies applicable at the time of booking.


Step 6: Check the Total Amount

After entering the required information, the system will display the applicable booking amount.

The final amount may depend on factors such as:

  • Number of passengers
  • Safari vehicle
  • Safari date and shift
  • Applicable government charges
  • Vehicle and guide charges
  • Agency service or facilitation charges, where applicable

Carefully review the complete fare breakdown before proceeding to payment.


Step 7: Make a Secure Online Payment

Once you have reviewed your booking details, proceed to the available online payment option.

Depending on the payment gateway, available methods may include:

  • Credit Card
  • Debit Card
  • UPI
  • Net Banking

Complete the payment only after confirming that all booking details are correct.

After a successful transaction, keep your payment receipt or transaction reference safely until your safari is completed.


Step 8: Receive Your Booking Confirmation

After successful payment and processing, your booking confirmation and applicable permit documentation will be provided according to the booking and Forest Department process.

Depending on the booking system, confirmation documents may be sent to your registered email address or made available through the booking platform.

Before your safari, carefully check your final permit for:

  • Passenger names
  • Safari date
  • Safari shift
  • Vehicle type
  • Allocated zone
  • Reporting location
  • Reporting time

If anything appears incorrect, contact the booking provider as soon as possible.


Step 9: Prepare for Safari Day

Your preparation should not stop after receiving the confirmation.

On the day of your safari:

Carry your original ID used during the booking.

Carry your safari permit or confirmation document as required.

Reach the designated reporting point well in advance of your scheduled safari time.

Follow the instructions provided by the Forest Department, safari operator, guide, and park authorities.

Late arrival may result in missing the safari, depending on the applicable operating rules.
