South Asia Wildlife Tour Reviews
Real traveler feedback from Wildlife tours across South Asia
Jeremy | Traveled in May
An excellent trip and great fun. I took 1 star off because the food at the lodges was boring and unimaginative. Basically it was the same food for lunch and dinner at every lodge. A 2nd star was taken off because of the overnight train ride. It was long, 10 hours, uncomfortable and difficult for those over 60. All our bunks were at the top so no windows to see out. It was difficult to get in and out for those over 70. Uncomfortable to sleep on. One lady on our trip was in placed in a different carrage, fortunately our guide swapped with her but that meant the guide was not with us. The rest of the trip was incredible and we saw 14 tigers from 15 game drives.

Great boat trip through the Maldives with daily snorkelling sessions looking for reef fish, turtles and manta rays and an occasional visit to a local island
Judy | Traveled in April
This was an excellent trip into rural India and the magnificent wildlife parks. Veeru was an enthusiastic and entertaining leader who was able to sort out any issues without fuss. On safari you are split into different jeeps, 3 or 4 to a jeep and the drivers go separate ways...you may not, therefore, have the same sightings and experiences as everyone else. We were a lucky group, I saw 12 tigers, 2 leopards and a multitude of deer, jackals etc and so many colourful birds..bring a book on Indian birds if that's your thing. Accommodation was good throughout and the food was delicious.

Excellent overall, saw lots of wildlife, great accommodation and local food. Only criticism was few washroom stops on safaris (au naturel not allowed)- up to 4.5 hours between breaks.
Anonymous | Traveled in April
I enjoyed this trip immensely. It was great to see the wildlife. The hotel had beautiful gardens and an excellent restaurant. All the staff were very attentive.
Alison | Traveled in April
the tour was good and we saw tigers and other wildlife which was amazing. The Ranthambore guides were very knowledgable about the wildlife and conservation efforts. The only improvement would be to pay more to have 4 rather than 6 per jeep. The train ride was comfortable - but getting through the stations was more crowded than any rush-hour commute!
