Frequently Asked Questions - Jim Corbett Safari Booking

Get answers to common queries about safari booking, permits, and wildlife experiences

Is Jim Corbett safari booking available online? +
Yes, Jim Corbett safari booking is available online through the official government website (corbettgov.org) and authorized booking partners like us. Online booking allows you to reserve jeep safari and canter safari slots up to 45 days in advance. You can select your preferred zone, date, and shift timing. The process requires valid government ID proofs for all travelers. We provide expert assistance for seamless online booking with instant confirmation and e-permits delivered to your email.
Which zone is best for tiger sighting in Jim Corbett? +
Dhikala zone offers the highest probability of tiger sightings, being the core area with large grasslands and abundant prey. Bijrani zone is second-best with excellent tiger density and easier accessibility. Jhirna zone, open year-round, also provides good sighting opportunities. For maximum chances, we recommend Dhikala during summer months (April-June) when tigers frequent water sources. However, tiger sightings cannot be guaranteed as they are wild animals in natural habitat. Our experts analyze recent sighting data to suggest the best zone for your travel dates.
Can I book safari at the last moment? +
While last-minute safari booking is technically possible, availability is extremely limited, especially during peak season (November-March). Most popular zones like Bijrani and Dhikala get fully booked 30-45 days in advance. For last-minute bookings, your chances are better with Dhela or Jhirna zones which remain open year-round and have relatively better availability. We recommend booking at least 30 days ahead for preferred zone selection. However, our team can check real-time availability and secure last-minute slots if available, though zone choice will be limited.
Is safari safe for families with children? +
Yes, Jim Corbett safari is completely safe for families with children. All safaris are conducted in robust 4x4 vehicles with experienced drivers and mandatory trained guides who understand wildlife behavior and safety protocols. Children of all ages are welcome - kids below 5 years enter free, while children between 5-12 years get 50% discount. The vehicles maintain safe distances from wild animals, and strict forest department guidelines ensure visitor safety. Thousands of families visit annually for educational wildlife experiences. However, maintain silence during safaris and follow guide instructions for both safety and better wildlife viewing.
What documents are required for safari booking? +
For Indian nationals, any government-issued photo ID is required: Aadhar Card, Passport, Driving License, Voter ID Card, or PAN Card. For foreign nationals, passport copy is mandatory. You need to provide ID details of all safari participants during booking. Original physical ID cards must be carried on safari day for verification at entry gates. Children below 5 years don't need separate IDs but should be mentioned in parent's permit. Bookings without proper ID documentation will be cancelled without refund, so ensure all details are accurate when booking.
What is the difference between jeep safari and canter safari? +
Jeep Safari (Gypsy) is a private vehicle accommodating up to 6 adults and 2 children, offering intimate wildlife viewing, better maneuverability on rough terrain, and flexibility in movement. Canter Safari is a larger shared vehicle with 16-passenger capacity, more economical per person but with restricted movement and limited availability (mainly Dhikala zone). Jeep safaris provide better photography angles, quicker positioning for wildlife sightings, and are available in all zones for both morning and evening shifts. Canters are budget-friendly but offer less personalized experience. We recommend jeep safari for serious wildlife enthusiasts and photographers.
What should I bring on the safari? +
Essential items: Original government ID, printed e-permit, comfortable clothing in neutral colors (avoid bright colors), full-sleeve shirts and pants, wide-brim hat, sunglasses, and sturdy footwear. Photography equipment: Camera with telephoto lens (200-400mm recommended), extra batteries, and memory cards. Winters (Nov-Feb): Warm jackets, sweaters, gloves, and caps as mornings are very cold. Summers (Mar-Jun): Sunscreen, light cotton clothing, and plenty of water. Binoculars enhance wildlife spotting. Avoid: Plastic bags (banned in park), strong perfumes, loud accessories. Carry mosquito repellent and basic medicines. Snacks allowed but consume inside vehicle only.
When does Jim Corbett National Park close? +
Jim Corbett National Park follows seasonal opening schedules. Core zones (Bijrani, Dhikala, Durga Devi) are closed during monsoon season from mid-June to mid-November for breeding season and conservation. However, Jhirna and Dhela zones remain open throughout the year, even during monsoon. The park reopens in mid-November when winter season begins. Exact dates vary slightly each year based on forest department notifications. For year-round safari availability, choose Jhirna or Dhela zones which never close. Planning your visit between November to June ensures access to all zones including premium Dhikala and Bijrani zones.
