Destinations including Ranthambore and Sariska Tiger Reserves in Rajasthan and Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand are resuming safari operations after months of seasonal closures or restricted access. Wildlife experts advise first-time safari-goers to observe the broader forest ecosystem rather than focusing exclusively on tiger sightings. Ajay Kareer, general manager at Corbett Hideaway, noted that the post-monsoon forest is dense with active wildlife including birds, butterflies, elephants, and deer. Experts advise visitors to heed park guidelines, respect animal spaces, and appreciate signs of a thriving ecosystem such as alarm calls and fresh pugmarks.
