A private Ranthambore safari through the tiger reserve's best zones, timed to when sightings are most reliable.
2020 • 2023 • 2024 • 2025 • 2026
Permits for Zones 1 to 5 — Ranthambore's strongest for tiger sightings — often sell out up to 90 days ahead. Book early if you're planning a Ranthambore safari during the peak season (November to June) or over major public holidays. Summer (April to June) is the most rewarding time, as the dry forest pushes predator and prey toward the last remaining water bodies, significantly increasing your chances of spotting a tiger.

Tailor-made itinerarieswith no surprises.
- 01
We track which zones are actually working
Tiger movement across Ranthambore's 10 zones changes from season to season — we follow that pattern rather than booking whatever zone happens to be free.
- 02
Six seats, and every one of them is yours
A private jeep means setting your own pace and stopping when something's worth stopping for, instead of moving on because a canter (a mini-bus carrying 20 people) has somewhere else to be.
- 03
Sorted before you land in Rajasthan
Safari permits, hotel and transfers arranged in advance, since Ranthambore's best zones can sell out three months ahead.
- 04
Hotels near the gates, chosen firsthand
We stay at the properties we recommend, and years of working with them directly gets you prices you won't find booking on your own.

“Kunal arranged a brilliant 3 night stay at the lovely Fateh's Retreat guest house just on the border of the fabulous Ranthambore National Park. He also organised 3 private jeep safaris which were both varied and beautiful. Kunal provided a friendly, seamless, well-planned and efficient service. Thank you! Highly recommended!”

“We've now completed three safaris through Kunal: Ranthambore, Jim Corbett, and Kaziranga. We are repeat customers for a reason! Kunal truly takes care of you. He is thoroughly transparent and very quick with communication. He also will place you in top notch lodging with very competent safari guides and drivers. He's our go-to for any safaris in India and we strongly recommend him for your trips!”

“We had a great experience organizing a short notice family trip to Ranthambore National Park with Kunal. Everything was seamless — not just the fantastic hotel off the beaten path and the bookings for jeep safaris — but the communication and recommendations for planning a May trip with kids were spot on. He was transparent with pricing and the pros and cons of various options, and we never felt like he was pushing any one thing on us. Highly recommend working with Kunal for making even a last minute trip fall perfectly into place!”

Frequently asked questions.
Ranthambore is open October to June. The cool months (November to February) bring comfortable mornings and beautiful light. March through June is the warmest and, paradoxically, the most reliable for tiger sightings — the forest dries out and animals concentrate around the few remaining waterholes.
Permits for Zones 1–5 (the best zones in Ranthambore) often sell out up to 90 days in advance, so it's worth planning early.
Always private. You will have your own jeep, your own driver, and your own naturalist. No sharing with strangers, no fixed itinerary, no following the convoy. This is the single biggest difference between booking with us and booking online.
Three to four safaris over two to three days is the sweet spot. Fewer and you're at the mercy of luck; more and the forest starts to repeat itself. We typically design itineraries with two safaris on the main day and one on either end.
