Travellers can book a safari for Kanha National Park by searching for availability at our official website via calendar. Alternatively, you could also ask us for a safari booking over the phone. If you have decided to take a holiday tour to Kanha National Park then safari booking in advance is mandatory. The timing for safari varies during the summer and winter months. However, safari timings can change anytime at the discretion of Park management. The park remains closed in March on the occasion of Holi and every Wednesday evening for safari.

Every day, a specific number of vehicles are permitted to enter the forest in different zones. This is done to avoid overcrowding the forest and disturbing the natural flora and fauna of the region.

Important information required while booking an online safari for Kanha National Park

Since safari booking is subject to availability and is carried out on a first-come-first-served basis, you need to book your excursion in advance. To book a safari online, you are required to take care of the following things –

• Government-issued ID proof for name, age, nationality, and sex of the tourist.
• The identity card number of each visitor (Aadhar card, voter ID, PAN card, driving license, passport etc.)
• Tatkal bookings for the next day open every day at 5 PM in the evening (one day before).
• The online booking permit contains charges for the Permit, vehicle and the guide. You need not to pay anything before entering the gate.
• The entry permit is for individuals, valid for the specified date and time, and cannot be transferred.
• Since a limited number of vehicles are allowed to enter the park at a time, it is advised to book your tickets 120 days in advance.
• If a safari booking shows as ‘W’ (for waiting), it is confirmed only if the waiting list is cleared. If the same is not cleared before 5 days of your planned excursion, the permit is cancelled automatically and the amount is refunded to you.
