From Jaipur: Ranthambore National Park Day Trip with Safari - Jaipur pickup and the three-hour road to Sawai Madhopur

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 244 reviews · 12 hours · from $85Our pick

Travel from Jaipur to Ranthambore in a private air-conditioned car with drivers such as Uday or Pradeep, then take a forest safari by six-seat jeep or 20-seat canter. Look for tigers, sloth bears, crocodiles, deer, birds, and leopards, but remember that sightings are never guaranteed.

“The tour was really nice. The driver, Uday, arrived on time and the trip to Ranthambore was comfortable, with food and rest stops along the way. We were lucky enough to see a tiger on our first safari, as well as other animals in their natural habitat.”
