The average temperature ranges between 25°C to 35°C (77°F to 95°F). Spring is an excellent time for wildlife sightings. The pleasant weather and active animals make it easier to spot various species, including tigers, rhinos, deer, and birds.
The average temperature ranges 30°C to 40°C (86°F to 104°F). The hot and humid weather during the monsoon season can make wildlife sightings more challenging. Some animals may seek shelter and stay hidden in the dense vegetation due to the frequent rains.
The average temperature ranges between 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F). Autumn is another good time for wildlife viewing. The weather is pleasant, and the grasslands are less dense, making it easier to spot animals like rhinos, elephants, and various bird species.
The average temperature ranges from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Winter is another favorable time for wildlife sightings. The cooler temperatures encourage animals to come out into the open, making it more likely to spot them near rivers and watering holes. It is also a good time to spot migratory birds that travel all the way from Siberia. The days with dense low fogs are extremely cold and can compromise visibility.

You will be accompanied by experienced and knowledgeable naturalists equipped with a first aid kit. Always follow their instructions and stick to designated paths. Venturing alone into the bushes and water bodies can be dangerous.
Respect wildlife by maintaining a safe distance and avoiding any provocation. Your guide will brief you on how to handle various animal encounters. Keep movements and noise to a minimum.
Wear neutral-colored clothes (avoid red and white) to avoid attracting wildlife. Opt for full-sleeved clothes and proper shoes for jungle walks. Carry sanitizer and bug spray to protect against bugs and mosquitoes.
Never feed the wild animals and ensure that food is securely stored during a safari. Water safety is crucial, so drink only boiled water or use water purification methods like SteriPEN, LifeStraw, or purification tablets.
