Ranthambore National Park
For travellers on a tighter budget or those who enjoy the camaraderie of a group experience, the canter safari takes 20 people at a time through the buffer zones of Ranthambore in an open-sided vehicle. While tiger sightings are less frequent than in core zone jeeps, the sheer joy of driving through the forest with a knowledgeable guide and the chance of spotting leopards, wild boar, and hundreds of deer makes it a thoroughly worthwhile experience.
Sit in the front rows of the canter for the best unobstructed views and quickest reaction time when wildlife is spotted.
