Jeep safaris are costly hence you need
to share if alone. The tiger safari is of longer duration during the day while
in the evening it is shorter. When you enter the park a forest guide is a
necessary accompaniment but if you wish you can take a trained naturalist with
you.

During the winters you need a lot of
warm clothing on safaris. You need to carry edibles as well mineral water since
it is not available in the park. You must carry books on nature as well as
binoculars and scopes.
When traveling for wildlife watching
make sure that your jeep safaris are booked in advance. There is a limit to the
number of cars that can enter each gate. In holiday season you can find the
entries blocked due to rush.
When in the forest you need keen
eyesight and hearing to spot the animals. Some animals are easily seen but it
takes lot of efforts to see rare animals. They have excellent camouflage hence
attention can be rewarding.
Tigers are often located by the sounds
they make. They can also be tracked by the alarm call when the predators or big
cat is around. The alarm cries of other animals is a warning of tiger's
presence this increase your chance of spotting the animal.
