It comes down to how the trip is planned — the zones, the timing, and the decisions made before you reach Sasan Gir.
Gir opens in mid-October and closes with the monsoon in mid-June — the cooler months, December to March, are the most comfortable and fill early.

“There was an extended holiday and the itinerary to Sasan Gir fell on my friends' lap, and we three moms with kids decided to say yes. To be very honest I was a bit sceptical of safaris as I never had luck to see animals beyond deer, but we ventured into the adventure for a weekend break. The whole trip was well arranged, including transportation from the airport to Anil Farm Resort, which was again a well thought-out suggestion given we needed three rooms.”

“This was an excellent one-of-its-kind experience that we had on the Gir trip. With Kunal to guide and help us with everything around, we thoroughly enjoyed our first ever group picnic! The stay facilities and the forest trip arrangements were very seamlessly managed by Kunal. His detailed knowledge of the nature around us was amazing, and his connect with the children in our group was heartwarming. We came back with fond memories and are already looking forward to our next trip with Kunal.”

Frequently asked questions.
Gir is best from December to March, when the weather is comfortable and the forest is easy to travel. The park opens in mid-October and stays open until mid-June; the pre-monsoon months of April and May are hot but can be very productive for sightings as animals gather at water.
The park closes for the monsoon from mid-June, and the best winter dates fill early.
Always private. You have your own jeep, your own driver and your own naturalist, with permits and zone allocations arranged in advance so your time is spent in the forest rather than in the queue at Sasan.
Gir holds the entire wild population of the Asiatic lion, and sightings are reliable across a few safaris — this is the one place on earth to see them in the wild. Beyond lions you have a good chance of leopard, and regular sightings of striped hyena, marsh crocodile, deer and rich birdlife.
Your Gir,planned properly.
