Plan your wildlife trip

 Make a real basic wildlife tour plan that how you want to go wildlife trip, what wildlife destination do you want to go, where do you want to go with, whom do you want to go with, where do you want to stay?

Do not make harsh plans where you are bound for a long road trip and your longest time just goes to reach the destination. If you want to reach your wildlife destination only by road, then I will recommend you a day trip.

Try to get a decent number of friends for the trip. Sometimes the general rule of merrier is applied here…

Do not feed wild animals in park

Sometimes it is seen during the safari that we try to feed them by looking at the stimulus or animal-friendly behavior. This is a direct violation of wildlife rules and this can be the biggest mistake on wildlife tour. Also, during the jungle safari, do not take any food items and never throw your remaining food in the park area. However, the Rajasthan Forest Department has completely banned plastic in Ranthambore National Park. Because of this, the animals rely on these edibles and at that time they become a threat to the visitors when they are starving or unable to hunt. Another reason suggests that after feeding animals, they gradually lose their skills to hunt and they are hindered to find food. Sometimes, as a result, they also die due to hunger. So please do not feed to wild animals and birds in Ranthambore national park.

But it is also said that there is a very thin line between being smart and stupid.

In the eagerness to see the tiger and other wildlife, people often forget the rules of the forest department and they are very close to wild animals, which can be a huge mistake during the jungle safari. This is not only tiger, or leopard, which requires you to maintain a safe distance. Sambhar Chital, Nilgai etc. can be the coolest creatures, but you never know when they will become violent, therefore, it is best to avoid wildlife encounters near the calmest animals.

In addition, some people go closer to these animals to get better photographs but remember they are not pets. These animals can be ever more angry, powerful and violent as you can never imagine. Typically, a distance of about 30 meters should be kept from the tiger and if there is cubs with it, then this distance should be at least 50 meters.

Keep calm inside the park

When you go to the Jungle safari in Ranthambore National Park, keep silent inside the park and go slowly and carefully around it. One of the main reasons for attacking animals on humans is that they understand that the person is afraid or very excited, Which in turn also scares the animals, and in this illusion the wild animals attack and besides they have no option. Therefore, when we see any wild animal in the forest, we should stay calm and do not make any noise there, because it may scare the animal. However, these animals do not harm anyone until they are given stress or threat. Apart from this, visitors should ensure that the natural activities of animals do not disturb, especially during sexual intercourse and food.

There is nothing to do during an animal encounter. On a safari tour, if the animals are sitting on the road or crossing the road, especially in the case of deer and tigers, then be sure to stop there. These animals are extremely protective for their loved ones and a provocative step by you can cause the attack of deadly tigers.

Wear sober clothes with appropriate Colors

Before going to the park excursion, wear sober clothes with eco-friendly colors. During the jungle safari in the park, select brown or green color clothes. When wild animals see bright colors, they may be frightened because the bright colors are provocative and they are not used in the jungle. During the jungle safari, we should wear camouflage print clothes so that we can mix with the surrounding environment because it is the best way to get close to wildlife. Most national parks and sanctuaries have the rules of the wearing camouflage clothes or of neutral colors in the forest. The reason for wearing such sober clothes while going to the forest is that bright colors attract animals more, and therefore, there can be a big risk of animal attacks.
