Types of Safaris in Panna
Jeep Safari (Gypsy Safari)
The most popular way to explore Panna. A jeep allows deeper access into the forest, better photography stops, and a comfortable experience for families and small groups.
Canter Safari
A shared vehicle suitable for budget travellers or visitors who book late.
Both safari types are operated by trained forest guides who help you identify wildlife and understand the forest ecosystem.

Best Time to Visit
Winter (November to February)
Cool and pleasant weather. Animals stay active near open areas and riverbeds. Good for photography, birdwatching, and comfortable safaris.
Summer (March to June)
Hot days but excellent for tiger and leopard sightings. Wildlife gathers near the Ken River and waterholes, which increases chances of close sightings.
Monsoon (July to September)
Core zones remain closed. The forest becomes green and fresh. The park reopens in October with renewed vegetation.
