Ranthambhore | As it was observed in last seasons that agents / safari providers were blocking Half day and Full day safaris jeeps. The process was simple, one needs to give application at the earliest to block the jeep. Since they were allotted on first come first basis and no token amount was there as advance deposit, so it was easy. Everyone used to give application & try to sell them on higher prices. Also there was no time limit of giving application. One can submit application 09 months in advance. In this system the real tourist was suffering.
To overcome such short comings the department came out with new policy. This will help real tourists.
New amendments made are as such.
Recently , the process for booking Half Day & Full day safaris have been started on line by official website i.e rajasthanwildlife.gov.in . One has to resgister their account before making any booking.
Number Of Half day & Full day safari jeeps available:
There are total 05 Full day jeeps available in advance quota .They are converted into 10 half day safari jeeps incase if not booked. The Half day safaris are for morning & afteroon shifts. The Full day safari are from morning to evening ( upto park closure time). In these safaris only 05 persons are allowed in a jeep.

How Full day & Half day safaris are booked :
Mostly these safaris are booked in advance quota which remains opens upto 02 days prior to the visit. If they are not sold out in advance quota then remaining jeeps are added to current quota which opens one day prior to the visit.
