The forests and grasslands are busy with chital and sambar deer, wild boar, langur monkeys with their expressive faces and the occasional jackal trotting along a track as if it owns the place.

Yes, India is an excellent choice for first-time safari travellers. Safaris are well regulated, led by experienced guides and operate within protected national parks. The structured nature of jeep safaris, combined with good infrastructure and accommodation options, makes Indian safari holidays both accessible and rewarding for newcomers to wildlife travel.

Guide prices often start from around £795 per person, with luxury Indian safari holidays costing more depending on lodge selection, private services and itinerary length.
