“What a fun trip! Our guide made sure we were comfortable in the jeep, pointed out lots of wildlife, and when leopards were spotted, he did a great job positioning us where we could see it and helped us take great pictures with our phones. Even if we hadn’t spotted the two leopards that we did, we would’ve thoroughly enjoyed the trip!”

“The visit to the park is intense, at the end you see many animals in the wild which is the point of this tour, the guides lend all their energy to offer you the best view of the tigers, in my case I would have liked to see a little more other animals but I understand that the point is the tigers, if you don’t have much time in Jaipur as is my case it is the best option, Maliq, is from the area and is very clear what travellers need to see at least without leaving Jaipur. Highly recommended 😀”

Private 4x4 transfer and a Jhalana/Amagarh safari in Jaipur to hunt for leopards and other wildlife, with air-conditioned comfort.
“Our experience with the safari tour in Jaipur was highly disappointing. Here’s why: Shortened Tour Duration: The tour lasted only 2.5 hours instead of the advertised 5 hours, leaving us feeling short-changed. Group Tour Instead of Private: Despite booking a private tour, we were placed in a group of 7 people in a cramped Gypsy, which was far from the personalized experience we had paid for. Delayed Start Time: The tour was supposed to start at 1:00 PM, but it began at 2:30 PM, wasting valuable time in the afternoon. Excessive Traffic: The area was overcrowded with vehicles, making it nearly impossible to spot any wildlife. This defeats the purpose…”
