Follow these Forest Department rules for a safe, enjoyable and responsible safari.
No Getting Off the Jeep — Remain seated in the Gypsy at all times during the safari. Getting off is strictly prohibited in the core zone.
Silence is Golden — Maintain silence especially when an animal is spotted nearby. Loud talking, music or clapping disturbs wildlife.
No Smoking or Alcohol — Strictly prohibited inside the park. Can result in immediate permit cancellation and expulsion.
No Littering — Carry a bag for your waste. Throwing food, wrappers or any material inside the park invites heavy fines.
Phone Flash Off — Mobile phone flash photography is not allowed. It disturbs animals. Use DSLR with appropriate lens if you have a camera permit.
Be Punctual — Arrive at the gate at least 20 minutes before your safari time. Late arrivals may forfeit their slot without refund.
Wear Neutral Colours — Avoid bright red, white or neon clothing. Wear earthy greens, browns and khakis to avoid startling wildlife.
Carry Original ID Proof — Original government-issued ID matching your permit is mandatory. Photocopies may not be accepted.
Respect Wildlife Distance — Do not encourage the driver to approach animals too closely. Maintain safe distance for both visitor safety and animal comfort.
Do Not Collect Anything — Picking flowers, leaves, stones or any natural material is strictly illegal under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.
