If you are planning a trip to Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, then the most important thing to get inside the park is the safari permit. This park only allows entry with a safari permit, and you can enter it through the gyoosy safari rides. The permits for the park sell out quickly, so it is very important to plan before the trip. This information will help you to understand the full permit process before your visit. Below are some detailed permit tips to help you book a safari in Tadoba without any issues.
It is important to make a booking for your safari in advance. The demand for safaris in Tadoba is very high, and the permit gets sold out quickly. The permits can be booked 120 days in advance, so make a booking when the booking window opens so that you can secure the slots of the best zones and for your preferred date. Also, booking early can help in getting the core zones like Moharli, Kolara, or Navegaon.
Make a booking from mytadoba.org as this website is famous for authenticity and transparency. For making a booking, you will need details like name, age, gender, and ID proof number of every visitor.
Make sure to keep the details of all gypsy safari goers with you so that you can book as soon as possible. Keep in mind that only one person can book for up to 6 visitors in one gypsy.
If your dates are flexible, try to book on weekdays. Weekends and holidays see a heavy rush, and permits also get sold out faster than on other days. Weekday safaris also feel quieter and more peaceful inside the park.
If you do not get permits for core zones, then don’t be sad. At least you got a safari permit for your preferred date. The buffer zones of this park are also amazing and provide chances to spot the wild animals.
For a booking in Tadoba, you can make a Tatkal safari booking or a regular safari booking. For everyone, we always advise the tourists to book the regular safari as it is better than the Tatkal safari. In Tatkal safari, you might not get the permit for the zone that you choose.
For spending a nice time in the park, we suggest the tourists make permit bookings for morning safaris. During the morning hours, there are better chances of animal sightings, and you can see them active in cooler weather.
The ID proof used at the time of booking must be the same one you carry on the safari day. If there is any mismatch, then you won’t be able to enter the park. Always keep your identity when you go for a safari inside the park. It is checked at the entry gate and make sure that the details of your ID match the permit.
If you book the permit from another site, then it might only include the park entry fees. But, if you make a booking from mytadoba.org, then you can get an amazing chance to get the booking along with the charges of guides, gypsy vehicle, and driver. It is always a good idea to make an online permit booking for Tadoba in advance with us.
The park has strict rules about timings, noise levels, and behavior inside the forest. Permits clearly mention the reporting time and gate number. If you are late or at the gate of wrong zone, then your safari will get cancelled, and the amount for this is non-refundable. We always advise the tourists to see full information about the safari on the permit and arrive at the entry gate around 30 to 45 minutes in advance so that the permit checking formalities can be done on time.
One safari is often not enough to enjoy the full Tadoba experience. So, try to make Tadoba safari permit bookings for 3 to 4 zones on different days. By doing this, you can increase your chances of sighting a tiger or big animal in the wild Tadoba National Park.
Always carry a printout or at least a soft copy of your permit along with ID proof. This helps avoid delays at the gate. Your phone's internet connection can get lost or your phone battery might die, so keeping a printout of both permit and ID will help you to get checks done on time and avoid delays in going inside the park.
Once booked, permits cannot be transferred to someone else. If you cannot travel, you will have to cancel. Don’t think that you can give it to someone else, because all the details of safari goers are written on it.
Each permit is valid only for the specific gate and zone mentioned. You cannot change the gate after booking. Plan your stay near the same gate to avoid long drives from the resort to the park.
