Know The City
Delhi is where many of our North India wildlife journeys begin. For most travellers, it is their first introduction to India before heading into the forests of Jim Corbett, Ranthambore, Rajaji or Dudhwa. Yet Delhi is much more than a gateway. It is a city where over eight centuries of history, magnificent Mughal monuments, bustling bazaars and three UNESCO World Heritage Sites come together to offer an unforgettable cultural experience before or after your safari.
From the lively streets of Old Delhi to the broad avenues of New Delhi, every part of the city tells a different story. Wander through Chandni Chowk’s centuries-old markets, admire the timeless beauty of Humayun’s Tomb, stand beneath the towering Qutub Minar or watch the evening lights illuminate the Red Fort. Spending just one or two days here adds another dimension to your wildlife holiday, allowing you to experience both India’s remarkable heritage and its extraordinary natural landscapes in a single journey.
Every traveller is different, and so is every safari we design. Whether you’re chasing your first tiger sighting, planning a wildlife photography expedition or a family wildlife holiday, our experts will help to:
Every journey begins with a one-to-one consultation, allowing us to design a safari around your interests, travel style and budget.
What Makes It Special
Delhi is far more than just an arrival city. It’s the perfect introduction to India before you venture into the wilderness. Spending a day or two exploring its UNESCO World Heritage Sites, vibrant bazaars, historic monuments, and diverse cuisine adds depth to your journey before heading to the forests.
With excellent connectivity to Jim Corbett, Ranthambore, Rajaji, Dudhwa, and Keoladeo National Park, Delhi serves as the ideal gateway to North India’s leading wildlife destinations. Combining the capital’s rich history with unforgettable safari experiences allows you to discover two completely different sides of India in one thoughtfully planned itinerary.
At Jungle Revives, we carefully weave Delhi into our itineraries as an experience in its own right, combining expert-guided sightseeing, comfortable accommodation and seamless transfers with some of India’s finest wildlife safaris.
Delhi is home to some of India’s most celebrated historical landmarks, spanning nearly a thousand years of architectural evolution.
From UNESCO World Heritage Sites and magnificent Mughal monuments to peaceful gardens and grand colonial avenues, these attractions showcase the many layers of the city’s remarkable past.
Local Experiences
Delhi is best experienced beyond its monuments. Wander through centuries-old bazaars, savour legendary street food, ride through the bustling lanes of Old Delhi and discover the city’s living traditions that continue to shape its unique character.
Many of these experiences are an integral part of Jungle Revives’ cultural and wildlife itineraries.
Chandni Chowk Heritage Walk & Rickshaw Ride

Delhi Food & Street Food Experience
Delhi's culinary heritage is as diverse as its history. Taste authentic Mughlai cuisine, iconic parathas, crispy jalebis, spicy chaat and traditional kebabs while exploring the legendary food streets of Old Delhi. Whether you join a guided food walk or explore independently, every stop offers a glimpse into the city's rich culinary traditions.
Shopping in Historic Markets
From handcrafted jewellery and traditional textiles to spices, antiques and souvenirs, Delhi's markets are a paradise for shoppers. Each market has its own character, making shopping an experience in itself.
Delhi is featured in many of our wildlife and heritage journeys, serving as both the gateway to North India’s national parks and an unforgettable cultural destination in its own right.

FAQs
The ideal safari zone depends on your priorities. Dhikala is best for immersive wilderness experiences, Bijrani is excellent for first-time visitors, while Dhela and the other buffer zones offer rewarding wildlife sightings with fewer vehicles. We help you choose the most suitable zones based on the season and availability.
Safari permits and accommodation, especially the iconic Dhikala Forest Rest House, are limited and often sell out well in advance. We recommend booking your safari several months ahead, particularly if you’re travelling during weekends, holidays or the peak wildlife season.
