Destinations Covered

Sariska Tiger Reserve

Sariska National Park (Tiger Reserve) is Rajasthan’s first tiger reserve and the world’s first to receive tigers through translocation (from Ranthambore National Park). This is a comparatively less visited and hence less crowded national park featuring rocky Aravalli hill terrain, dry forest and  ancient temple ruins inside the reserve.

Set in eastern Rajasthan, Ranthambore is one of the prime destinations for wildlife safari tour in India where rugged hills, open forests, and ancient ruins create one of India’s most visually striking tiger landscapes.  The park consists of multiple scenic lakes such as Padam Talao, Malik Talao, and Rajbagh Talao. These water bodies act as the perfect spot for witnessing wildlife and one of the best places for spotting tigers as well.  The Ranthambore Fort above the forest is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Keoladeo Ghana National Park in Bharatpur is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s most important bird sanctuaries in Asia. This compact wetland reserve attracts thousands of migratory and resident birds — from Siberian cranes and painted storks to eagles and kingfishers. A rewarding stop for wildlife and nature enthusiasts

3 Historical monuments – Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub Minar and the Red Fort form the UNESCO heritage trail in Delhi. Delhi is not only India’s capital city but also India’s Mughal heartland offering architectural & cultural glimpses into the past. An evening in the lanes of Old Delhi’s Chandni Chowk gives you an authentic cultural experience

Agra is home to 3 UNESCO heritage sites – Fatehpur Sikri, Agra Fort & The Taj Mahal. Fatehpur Sikri is Akbar’s abandoned Mughal capital built in 1571 and deserted after just 14 years, one of the best-preserved examples of Mughal urban planning in existence. Agra Fort, the great red sandstone citadel built across three generations of emperors. The Taj Mahal — the most visited monument in India.  This magnificent structure is best experienced at sunrise, when the white marble shifts from amber to brilliant white in the morning light.  

Jaipur also houses 3 UNESCO heritage sites in one city. First of all Jaipur, the city is itself a UNESCO listed historic city, being considered the first planned city of India. The next UNESCO site is the Amber Fort  (part of the Hill Forts of Rajasthan UNESCO listing) . And the third is the Jantar Mantar – one of the 5 observatories built by Maharaja Jai Singh II.

We traveled from Canada to India to celebrate a special event, and Jungle Revives turned it into an unforgettable journey. Everything was flawlessly organized from start to finish. The team guided us in selecting the perfect reserve, coordinated all transfers effortlessly, and even managed last-minute flight changes without any hassle. The safari itself was amazing—we spotted tigers multiple times, including some incredibly close encounters. Our guides were experienced and made each drive engaging and exciting. One of the most memorable moments was a stunning birthday dinner set up under the stars, adding a truly special touch to the trip. I highly recommend Jungle Revives for anyone looking for a smooth and memorable tiger safari experience in India!

Joseph Stan, Canada

I am from South Korea, and our group of six booked a safari tour with Jungle Revives. Initially we were unsure — being in a new country with a new operator can feel challenging. But this turned out to be our most memorable and beautifully planned trip to date. Every communication and daily schedule was perfectly coordinated. Mr. Shishir called us every evening to check how our day went — that level of personal attention truly made us feel valued. The accommodations were luxurious and far beyond what we expected.

Ryeom Hajoon, South Korea

After planning this trip for quite some time, we finally moved forward with Jungle Revives — and it turned out to be a wonderful decision. Communication was professional, every detail thoughtfully arranged, and small touches like blankets, hot water bags and bird identification books in the jeep made every drive genuinely special. We saw tigers, playful cubs, elephants and a stunning variety of wildlife. A dependable safari company that values communication and attention to detail.

Mansi Sharma, India

My 10-day safari covering 4 national parks was very well planned and organised by Jungle Revives. I was worried we might not see any tigers, but we had multiple sightings — especially in Jim Corbett and Kanha. The naturalists were experienced, all stays comfortable and the entire trip went smoothly. Special thanks to Shishir for always being available with prompt responses to every query throughout the trip.

Jenny, India

After nearly a year of planning, I finally experienced the safari I had been dreaming about — and it was absolutely worth the wait. Mr. Shishir and his team made the entire journey feel effortless. Across Jim Corbett and Bandhavgarh, our group of five spotted 8 tigers along with incredible wildlife and birds. The guides were knowledgeable, respectful toward wildlife and passionate about conservation. Nothing felt rushed — it felt raw, real and deeply connected to nature.

Sam Harward, India

I had friends visiting from Australia and wanted to give them a special experience. After speaking with Shishir, everything fell into place. He planned a perfect 6-day itinerary covering Jim Corbett, Bandhavgarh and Kanha — including a stay at a government forest rest house inside the park, which was raw and unforgettable. We had multiple tiger sightings across all three parks. Every detail of the trip was handled smoothly — from inter-park transfers to dietary preferences for international guests. We basically just had to show up.
