A 7 Days Journey for travellers who want to spend their days tracking Leopards & Tigers in Rajasthan’s Jhalana Leopard Reserve & Ranthambore National Park
Rajasthan Leopard & Tiger Safari Tour In Jhalana and Ranthambore
6 Nights / 7 Days (2N Jaipur · 3N Ranthambore)
Includes 9 guided safaris
Leopards, Tigers, Striped Hyena, Sambar, Marsh Crocodiles & Grassland Birdlife
Overview
We built this Rajasthan Leopard & Tiger Safari Tour itinerary for travellers whose main priority is wildlife, with the journey structured around maximising time on safari. It includes four game drives in Jhalana Leopard Reserve, on the outskirts of Jaipur, followed by five safaris in Ranthambore National Park, exploring its forests, lakes and the landscape around the historic fort. With nine game drives across seven days, including both morning and afternoon safaris, the itinerary allows for extensive time in the field and multiple opportunities for wildlife sightings.
The two reserves offer distinctly different safari experiences. Jhalana’s dry scrub and rocky terrain provide excellent opportunities for close leopard encounters. Ranthambore is known for its expansive forests, lakes and dramatic fort setting, along with its iconic tiger sightings, making it a top destination for Tiger Safari Tour in India. Experienced naturalists accompany you across both destinations, helping interpret tracks, pugmarks and alarm calls while adapting each safari to the conditions and wildlife activity of the day.
Destinations Covered

This compact reserve on Jaipur’s doorstep holds one of the densest leopard populations anywhere in the country, alongside striped hyena, jungle cats, civets and a naturalist’s checklist of birdlife.

For personal reasons, we unfortunately could not travel with Shishir, but I can only recommend the planning process to everyone. He is incredibly professional, responds promptly, and patiently addresses all requests and questions. This way, individual needs and ideas can be implemented.
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.
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.
We traveled from Canada to India to celebrate a special event, and Jungle Revives turned it into an unforgettable journey. The team guided us in selecting the perfect reserve and coordinated all transfers effortlessly. The safari itself was amazing - we spotted tigers multiple times. 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!
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.
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.
