Not all national parks allow night safaris, so select destinations with official permissions, trained guides, and designated buffer zones for safe nocturnal exploration.

Wear full-sleeve shirts, long trousers, and closed shoes to stay warm, avoid insect bites, and protect yourself from thorny vegetation during night drives.

Pack essentials like a torch, binoculars, insect repellent, water bottle, basic medicines, and a low-light camera to stay comfortable and alert throughout the safari.

Night safaris focus more on nocturnal animals such as civets, owls, porcupines, hyenas, and occasionally leopards, rather than frequent big-cat sightings.

Remain inside the safari vehicle, avoid loud noises, and strictly follow your guide’s instructions to ensure your safety and avoid disturbing wildlife.

Use cameras with good low-light performance, increase ISO settings carefully, and never use flash photography, as it can scare animals and disrupt their natural behaviour.

Night safari permits are limited and highly regulated, so booking in advance through official forest authorities is essential to secure your spot.

Maintain silence, avoid littering, and respect wildlife boundaries to help conserve fragile nocturnal ecosystems and promote responsible jungle tourism.

Be patient and immerse yourself in the jungle’s nighttime sounds — rustling leaves, insect calls, and distant animal noises often define the true night safari experience.

Enhance your wildlife trip by combining night safaris with early-morning jungle drives, nature walks, or stargazing activities at eco-friendly forest lodges.
