Enjoy Truly Worthwhile Safari Holidays in India

One of the best ways of seeing nature in the wild in India is to go on a jeep safari. Though there are other options of going on a safari such as on elephant back and on horse back, safari on jeeps, which are essentially 4WD vehicles, are preferred mainly because of some advantages that they offer over the other safari options. A safari jeep is a very versatile vehicle and yet very rugged. You can, therefore, reach otherwise inaccessible areas while on your safari. The jeep is a safe vehicle as well. A jeep safari can take you to fairly close distances of say a herd of elephants or the Royal Bengal Tiger guarding its kill, if you are lucky.

The Corbett Park in the Himalayan foothills boasts of leopards and various species of the deer and the antelope family. There are wild boars and sloth bears besides troops of monkeys of different species. There are hundreds of types of birds as well from the national bird of India, the peacock; you can also see pheasants and partridges, mynas and owls, hornbills, eagles and cormorants, flycatchers and the teals. The safari jeeps would take you to the river where you can see the Indian crocodiles, the mugger and the gharial. Then if you are in the forest area snakes are a common sight. In the Corbett you would see the King Cobra that’s a magnificent reptile besides the krait and the Russell’s viper or the python and the monitor lizard or the iguana.
