Kabini beckons us to her lovely forests with such amazing wildlife, making us fall in love over and over again! Let's look at the possibilities for having fun now.

 

Kabini Safari Options:

Boat Safari: 

The Karnataka Forest Department offers the wildly popular Kabini Backwaters Forest Safari in Kabini River. You can also take a boat safari at Kabini through one of the many lodges and guest houses in the area. The ideal way to appreciate the surrounding lush greenery and local flora and fauna would be to take a boat on a Kabini safari.

 

 

You might see a herd of majestic Asiatic elephants peacefully taking a bath, eating, and living their lives on the banks of the Kabini River. You may see smooth-coated otters playing in the water, marsh crocodiles relaxing on the banks, as well as a variety of water birds dipping in and out of the water, among the abundant wildlife present on the river banks.

Read our blog post titled "Birds of Kabini" for a thorough overview of the stunning birds that call Kabini home (upcoming). One of the most creative and exciting ways to discover Kabini and take in its beauty would undoubtedly be a boat safari. Jungle Lodges & Resorts is the company in charge of these safaris (owned by the Karnataka government).

 

Jungle Safari:

The most frequent and well-liked method of visiting and taking in the magnificent and lavish forests of Kabini is by doing so. To get to the centre of the forest and see the wilderness up close, you can book a minibus or a jeep Kabini safari. You might have the chance to see a variety of wild animals while on a safari like this, including tigers, leopards, elephants, and sambar deer, as well as birds like peacocks and crested hawk eagles.

 

 

The government has control over this jungle safari. So, in order to participate in this Kabini safari, you must abide by certain rules. The different types of vehicles available for the jungle safari are listed below. It is crucial that you carefully review each of their specifics before choosing to make a reservation for the one that best fits your needs and price range.

 

Jeep Safari:

Jungle Lodges & Resorts operate Jeep safari tours. If the resorts you are staying at are connected to the forest department, you can book a Kabini jeep safari through them. You can reserve a spot on this safari when making reservations at your resort, and the cost is typically covered by the tariff.

 

 

These low-cost safaris, run by the Forest Department, are ideal for people travelling with a large group of friends or family members. The mini-bus safari runs twice a day, from 6.30 a.m. to 9.00 a.m., and again in the afternoon from 3.30 p.m. to 6.00 p.m. on weekdays and weekends, there are four safaris conducted at 6.00 a.m. to 7.30 a.m, 7.30 a.m to 9.00 a.m, and 3.00 p.m to 4.30 p.m, 4:30 pm to 6.00 pm

Its tickets must be purchased at the Forest Department booking counter at the Nagarhole National Park or online. These counters open about 30 minutes before the safaris begin, so it is critical to arriving on time to make your reservations.

The Nagarhole National Park is divided into two distinct safari zones: Zone A and Zone B. The Kabini backwaters are close to Zone B. The safari tours offered by Jungle Lodges & Resorts can only visit one of these zones at a time. The Forest Department canter safaris, on the other hand, have unrestricted access to both of these zones.

 

How to book a Kabini Jungle Safari?

Bookings for both the boat and the vehicular Kabini jungle safari can be made easily through your trippyigloo.com & bookmesafari.com. You can also go on a Kabini jungle safari (on a canter) by visiting the Dammanakatte Forest Department office in Antharasanthe. This office is close to the Kabini forest entrance. To book from there, you will need a valid government ID card.

Additionally, since you can book a Kabini jungle safari online from the comfort of your own home, you won't have to spend any time waiting in lines during the trip and can instead spend it participating in a variety of fun activities while taking in the breathtaking scenery of this Karnataka wonderland.

 

Conclusion:

Kabini's abundant wildlife provides exceptional game viewing. The variety of options available enhances the beauty of a Kabini safari. The jungle safaris take us deeper into the forest than the boat safaris on the gorgeous backwaters, which only provide an outer view of it. On both safaris, one can see the amazing wildlife in its natural setting.

 

 

Any person would find going on a Kabini safari to be incredibly exciting and adventurous. There is nothing more enjoyable than spending time in the great outdoors with wildlife and clean air. So don't forget to book your safari and make travel arrangements to Kabini!
