Before you set off
- Safari permits are zone-allocated and sell out weeks ahead in season. Book before you book the vehicle.
- Two safaris — one morning, one afternoon — give you a far better chance than one.
- Park zones are reached in the park's own canters and jeeps, not in your vehicle.
- The park closes for the monsoon from July to September.
