Big Cat Safaris: Tigers, Leopards & Lions

Delhi to Mumbai – 14 days

Track India’s most iconic big cats on a focused 14-day small-group safari that links three standout habitats in one seamless arc. Begin in Delhi, then rail into Ranthambore for multiple game drives in tiger country—lakes, ruined fort walls and teak forests where Royal Bengal Tigers still roam. Shift into rural Rajasthan for heritage charm at Fort Barli, before reaching Jawai’s dramatic granite hills, famed for leopards living in close proximity to local communities. A visit to the mighty Kumbhalgarh Fort adds a powerful cultural counterpoint between safaris.

Fly via Udaipur to Mumbai, then onward to Diu and Gir National Park—the last wild refuge of the Asiatic Lion. With repeated morning and afternoon drives, expert naturalists, and well-timed transitions, the journey maximises wildlife time without feeling rushed. Expect comfortable hotels, purposeful pacing, and a rare chance to compare tiger, leopard and lion landscapes—alongside India’s most atmospheric forts, villages and coastal cityscapes.


Highlights

RANTHAMBORE TIGER SAFARI GAME DRIVES: Ranthambore is one of India’s most celebrated reserves for spotting the Royal Bengal Tiger in the wild, and this itinerary builds in multiple game drives to maximise your chances. Explore a landscape of dry forest, rocky ridges and shimmering lakes, where tigers patrol territories along tracks and water edges. A naturalist reads the signs—pugmarks, scratch marks and alarm calls—while also helping you spot sambar and chital deer, nilgai, langurs, marsh crocodiles and an exceptional bird list. Between drives, the park’s dramatic setting adds atmosphere: ancient ruins and fort walls hint at a wilder past, making every safari feel cinematic.

JAWAI LEOPARD SAFARI IN RAJASTHAN GRANITE HILLS: Jawai is one of Rajasthan’s most distinctive wildlife stories: leopards living among granite outcrops, temples and pastoral villages in remarkable proximity to people. You’ll head out on repeated jeep safaris at the best times of day, scanning boulder caves and ridgelines where leopards rest, emerge and move with ease. Your naturalist explains how this landscape supports healthy leopard populations, and how local traditions have shaped an unusually tolerant coexistence. The drives are not just about the main sighting—expect strong chances for hyena, jackal, desert fox, raptors and vivid sunset light across the granite domes. It’s a rare, high-intensity safari chapter.

GIR NATIONAL PARK ASIATIC LION SAFARI EXPERIENCE: Gir is the only place on Earth where Asiatic Lions survive in the wild, making it a true once-in-a-lifetime wildlife destination. With morning and afternoon game drives over two full days, you’ll explore dry deciduous forest and open scrub where lions often rest in shade or move between clearings and water sources. A resident naturalist helps you understand lion behaviour, recent sightings and the wider conservation success that has allowed populations to recover. Gir also offers a fascinating human–wildlife narrative, where communities live alongside big cats with minimal conflict. Alongside lions, keep watch for deer, crocodiles and rich birdlife.

RAJASTHAN FORTS AND HERITAGE STAYS: BARLI AND KUMBHALGARH: This safari journey is elevated by two powerful heritage interludes that add depth beyond wildlife. Stay at Fort Barli, an 18th-century fort-hotel that offers a quiet, old-world Rajasthan atmosphere—courtyards, village walks and time to slow the pace between early safari starts. From Jawai, visit Kumbhalgarh Fort, a dramatic 15th-century hill fortress famed for its immense defensive wall stretching across the ridges (often described as second in length only to the Great Wall of China). These cultural chapters bring context to the landscapes you’re travelling through, blending royal history, rural life and striking architecture into the big-cat narrative.

Why Asian Geographical?

The difference with the Asian Geographical is, that each of our holidays is designed with extreme precision of a mountaineering expedition.

DAY 1

New Delhi

Arrive at New Delhi International Airport (Terminal 3) and meet our representative at the exit with a placard. Transfer to your hotel and check in (standard check-in from 14:00). Delhi is a layered capital rebuilt by successive dynasties; today’s aim is simply to land well and reset. After lunch, the remainder of the day is at leisure—rest after the flight, enjoy hotel facilities, or take a gentle neighbourhood stroll if you feel up to it. This evening, your leader can brief the group on the safari-focused journey ahead, timings and practicalities.

Meals Included: Breakfast

Hotel Options:
Resort

The Suryaa New Delhi

Set in New Friends Colony, South Delhi, The Suryaa New Delhi is a polished city base for guests who want comfortable logistics as well as a little downtime between sightseeing and meetings in New Delhi. The address works well for south-Delhi districts and key road links.

The hotel has 244 recently renovated rooms and suites, geared to practical comfort rather than fuss. When you’re not out exploring, there’s a swimming pool and a well-equipped fitness centre, plus a spa with massage, sauna, jacuzzi and hydrobath—ideal after a long flight or a day in traffic.

Dining is a strong suit: Ssence for all-day favourites, Sampan as a rooftop Pan-Asian address with city views, Atrium Bar & Lounge for an easy drink, and French Crust for pastries and takeaway treats. We like it as a reliable, well-rounded stop on Delhi-led itineraries.

A relaxed morning in Delhi before your afternoon rail journey to Sawai Madhopur, the gateway to Ranthambore National Park—one of India’s best reserves for Royal Bengal Tiger. Transfer to the station in time for the Jan Shatabdi service (scheduled 12:45–17:13). On arrival, meet our team and drive a short distance to your lodge/hotel near the park. Settle in, then enjoy a calm evening briefing on safari etiquette, wildlife spotting, and what to expect on game drives.

Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner

Hotel Options:

Resort

DAY 3

Ranthambhore

Morning & Afternoon Game Drives: Start early for your first game drive as the forest wakes—prime time for tracking tiger movement along dry riverbeds, lakeshores and forest tracks. Your naturalist reads the landscape: alarm calls, pugmarks and scratch marks, while you also look for sambar, chital, nilgai, langurs, marsh crocodiles and prolific birdlife. Return to the lodge for breakfast and downtime. In the afternoon, head out again for a second drive when light softens and wildlife becomes active. Between drives or later in the day, visit the 10th-century Ranthambore Fort inside the park, with temples, pavilions and panoramic views.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

DAY 4

Ranthambhore

Further Safaris & Fort Landscapes: Another full safari day increases your chances of big-cat encounters and different zones. Begin with a morning game drive, focusing on water sources and known tiger territories, and stay alert for leopard, sloth bear and striped hyena—often elusive but possible. Return for breakfast and a rest during the warmest hours. This afternoon, venture out again on a second drive, scanning lakes for crocodiles and trees for raptors as you follow the park’s network of tracks. If not covered yesterday, weave in further time around Ranthambore Fort’s atmospheric ruins and viewpoints.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

DAY 5

Fort Barli

Ranthambore to Barli (240 km / 5 hrs): Leave Ranthambore after breakfast and drive into rural Rajasthan to Fort Barli, an 18th-century heritage fort with an intimate, old-world feel. Check in and take a guided orientation of the fort—courtyards, ramparts, and rooms that echo Rajput history. The afternoon is deliberately unhurried: wander the village lanes, observe everyday life, or relax by the pool with a book after several early starts. Barli offers a cultural counterpoint to the wildlife intensity—quiet, local, and far from the main tourist circuit—before the safari journey continues.

Meals Included: Breakfast

Hotel Options:
Resort

Fort Barli

Fort Barli is a small, characterful heritage stay inside a centuries-old Rajput fort in rural Rajasthan, offering a welcome pause between the headline cities. Set in Barli village, it suits travellers who value atmosphere, history and a slower pace over big-hotel polish, with hosts who are closely involved in day-to-day hospitality. 

Accommodation is intimate—just a handful of individually styled rooms shaped by the original fort structure, with traditional décor and modern basics for comfort. Public areas retain an old-world feel, and there’s a small pool for cooling off after a warm afternoon. 

Dining is typically home-style and locally influenced, timed easily around your onward drive. What makes Fort Barli special is the sense of place: village walks, a gentle rural setting, and the chance to experience Rajasthan beyond the main tourist trail. 
 

Resort

DAY 6

Jawai

Barli to Jawai (260 km / 5 hrs). After breakfast, drive south into Rajasthan’s granite country to Jawai, a remarkable landscape where leopards and local communities have co-existed for generations. Arrive and check in, then take time to settle in before your first safari here. This afternoon, head out by open jeep, scanning boulder outcrops, scrub valleys and rocky ridgelines where leopards rest and move with quiet confidence. The setting feels almost prehistoric—sunlit granite domes, shepherd tracks, and temples tucked into the hills—yet life continues in close proximity. Your naturalist explains Jawai’s unique ecology and the local tolerance that has shaped this coexistence story. Return to camp as dusk falls.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Hotel Options:
Resort

Berai Safari Lodge, Jawai

Bera Safari Lodge is a relaxed, safari-focused base in Jawai’s granite-hill landscape, well placed for leopard drives and village encounters. The feel is intimate and outdoorsy rather than formal—designed around early starts, wildlife sightings and long, unhurried evenings under big skies.

Accommodation is in simple, comfortable tented cottages with en-suite bathrooms and the essentials you want after time on dusty tracks: good beds, proper showers and shaded sit-outs for watching the light change over the hills. Between outings there’s space to slow down—lounging areas for reading, and a small pool to cool off in warmer months.

Food is hearty and straightforward, with Indian classics alongside familiar options, served to match safari timings. What clients tend to enjoy most is the easy rhythm: well-run drives, a friendly team, and a strong sense of place in one of Rajasthan’s most distinctive leopard landscapes.
 

Resort

DAY 7

Jawai

Jawai Safari and Kumbhalgarh Fort Excursion: Begin early with a morning leopard safari, when big cats are most likely to be active and temperatures are cool. Beyond leopard, keep an eye out for hyena, jackal, desert fox, crocodiles around water, and excellent birdlife across the rocky terrain. After brunch and a short rest, set out for a cultural contrast: visit Kumbhalgarh Fort, a 15th-century hill fortress whose defensive wall stretches dramatically across the ridges—often cited as second in length only to the Great Wall of China. Walk ramparts and viewpoints, absorbing the scale and setting. Return to Jawai by evening for a relaxed dinner.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

DAY 8

Jawai

Morning and Afternoon Leopard Safaris: A full day dedicated to Jawai’s big-cat theatre. Start with a morning jeep safari, tracking movement between granite caves and shaded crevices, and watching how leopards share space with pastoral life—goatherds, villagers and temple routes. Return for breakfast and downtime during the heat of the day. In the afternoon, head out again as light turns golden and the hills come alive with activity. Your naturalist refines your search—fresh pugmarks, calls, and likely resting sites—while also spotlighting smaller predators and raptors that thrive here. Each drive reveals a new angle on this rare coexistence landscape.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

DAY 9

Mumbai

Jawai to Udaipur via Ranakpur; fly to Mumbai: Depart Jawai after breakfast and drive to Udaipur, stopping en route at Ranakpur to visit its celebrated Jain temple complex, famed for intricate marble carving and serene colonnades. Continue to Udaipur airport in time for your scheduled flight to Mumbai (AI 2596, 16:35–18:15).

Asiatic Lion Safaris: Begin early for your first Gir game drive, heading into dry deciduous forest and scrub where the last wild Asiatic Lions thrive. Your naturalist helps interpret fresh tracks and movement patterns, explaining how the park’s habitat and prey base support a stable lion population. Gir is also known for an unusually calm relationship between people, livestock and big cats, and you’ll see how daily life continues around the forest edge with minimal conflict. Return to your hotel for breakfast and rest during the warmest hours. In the afternoon, head out again for a second drive, when the light softens and lion activity can increase.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

DAY 12

Gir Forest National Park

Full Day of Lion Tracking: A second full safari day improves your chances of extended lion sightings and different sectors of the park. Start with a morning drive, scanning open clearings and water sources where lions often linger, while keeping an eye out for other wildlife such as sambar and chital deer, nilgai, crocodiles and a rich birdlife. Return for breakfast and downtime, then set out again in the afternoon as temperatures ease. Your naturalist will focus the search based on recent sightings and fresh sign, and will share the wider conservation story that has allowed Gir’s lions to recover.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Safe travels.

Meals Included: Breakfast


ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

GROUP, SUPPORT STAFF & TRIP STYLE: A focused small-group safari (7–14 guests), travelling by air-conditioned mini coach with an English-speaking accompanying guide from Delhi to Mumbai, plus specialist park naturalists on every game drive. The pace is safari-led: expect early starts, a rest window in the heat of the day, and afternoon drives when big cats become active again. India’s roads and rail systems can be unpredictable, so we build in sensible buffers and keep plans fluid where needed. Safaris follow local park rules and allocations; sightings are never guaranteed, but repeated drives and experienced tracking significantly improve your odds.

SAFARIS, PERMITS & HOW SIGHTINGS WORK: Ranthambore safaris are by shared canter (seat-in-canter basis) and are controlled by the forest authorities, including vehicle type, zones and timings. Permits are limited and released well ahead of travel; providing passport details early helps us secure the best available allocations. In Gir, safari entry is tightly regulated and the park closes annually during the monsoon (typically mid-June to mid-October). Across all reserves, wildlife is found by reading habitat and behaviour—water sources, alarm calls, fresh tracks and recent movement reports—rather than following a fixed “route”.

WILDLIFE EXPECTATIONSTIGER, LEOPARD, LION: This itinerary is designed to compare three distinct big-cat landscapes. Ranthambore’s tigers move through dry forest, lakes and ruined fort-country, offering classic Indian safari drama. Jawai’s leopards are the headline—granite hills, caves and open scrub where cats often appear against stark rock silhouettes, in a region known for long-standing human–wildlife coexistence. Gir is the world’s only wild refuge of the Asiatic Lion, and repeated drives increase the chance of extended sightings. Beyond the big cats, look for deer species, crocodiles, raptors and superb birdlife throughout.

WEATHER & BEST TIME TO GO FOR BIG CATS: For comfort and consistent safari conditions, October to March is ideal—cooler dawns, clear light and manageable daytime temperatures across Rajasthan and Gujarat. If your priority is maximum big-cat predictability, the hotter dry months (April–June) can concentrate wildlife near water, though the heat is intense and afternoons can feel harsh. Monsoon timing matters: Gir typically closes mid-June to mid-October, and some safari zones elsewhere may have seasonal restrictions. We’ll advise the best travel window for your balance of comfort, photography light and wildlife odds.

ACCOMMODATION, MEALS, FOOD & WATER: Expect a mix of comfortable city hotels and well-placed safari lodges. Rooms are twin-share; single rooms are usually possible with a supplement, subject to availability. Breakfast is included daily. In Ranthambore, Jawai and Gir, full board is included (breakfast, lunch and dinner) to suit drive schedules and limited evening dining options in the park areas. Two 500 ml bottles of drinking water per person per day are provided; we recommend carrying an additional bottle on game drives. Vegetarian options are widely available; please flag allergies or strict diets in advance.

PACKING & ON-SAFARI PRACTICALS: Dress for layers: pre-dawn drives can be chilly (especially November–February), warming quickly once the sun rises. Neutral colours work best on safari; avoid bright whites and fluorescent tones. Bring a light fleece, windproof layer, hat, sunglasses and high-SPF suncream. Binoculars transform sightings, and a dust cover (or simple dry bag) protects camera kit on open vehicles. Soft-sided luggage is easier for coach storage. On drives, keep voices low, silence phone alerts, and follow the naturalist’s instructions—good etiquette directly improves everyone’s sightings and photographs.

HEALTH, INSURANCE & PHOTOGRAPHY: There’s no altitude or strenuous trekking, but the early starts add up—pace yourself and use midday downtime to recharge. Travel insurance is strongly recommended and should cover medical treatment, cancellations and travel disruption; if you want explicit cover for safari activities and remote-area support, check your policy wording. For photography, mornings give crisp contrast; late afternoons bring warmer tones and dramatic backlight over dust and grass. A lens in the 100–400mm range is ideal, with a second body or wider lens for landscapes, forts and “sense of place” shots.
