Wonderful Safari Experience! - We were grateful for the opportunity to have transportation to/from our hotel in Rishikesh to a Rajaji National Park/Tiger Reserve safari. We did not see tigers, but we saw more than 25 elephants. There were 16 in one herd that crossed the road roughly 40-50 yards behind our jeep! We also saw another small herd of six with two baby elephants, and another mother and baby in a dried river bed/ wash area where one bull elephant charged at and drove away another male. We also saw hornbills, a monitor lizard, and sambar deer alerting one another that there was a predator, likely a leopard, lying in a thicket. It was an amazing experience! The natural landscape is stunning as well. Words of advice to others: (1) If a foreigner like us, bring passports with you; (2) Cellphones/ phone caneras are not allowed in the park. We honored this, but noticed enforcement inequities in other jeeps; (3) Rishikesh traffic is heavy and chaotic, so it takes 45-60 minutes to get the the park and your waiting jeep and guide. All in all, this was an unbelievably amazing experience!

Interesting Safari - The driver was on time and took us to the safari. from there, we had to use the park jeeps. We saw mostly spotted deers, 1 elephant from afar, hens, peacocks and an eagle. I think the area we were in were mostly spotted deers. Interesting Safari

Good experience - The safari itself took a couple of hours The anticipation of seeing the animals and hearing them was cool Managed to see an elephant but only the one which made the trip but I can imagine this is not always the case
