Safari Booking Procedure

You can book your Panna safari by checking date availability on our website and confirming the slot you want. If you prefer personal help, call or WhatsApp us and we will arrange the permit. Advance booking is always better because seats are limited and the park receives steady demand.

Safari timings change with the season. Morning safaris start after sunrise and evening safaris end before sunset. The forest department may adjust timings when needed. The park stays closed on Holi each year.

Only a limited number of jeeps are allowed in each zone so that the forest stays peaceful. Booking early helps you get the zone you want, especially on weekends and holidays.

Other Panna Booking Options

Along with regular permits, visitors can use two quick booking choices. These options help travellers who plan at short notice or do not want to book a full jeep.

Single Seat Safari Permit Booking

Good for solo travellers or when the full vehicle permits are filled. You can reserve one seat in a shared jeep.

This option usually opens one day before the safari date, depending on availability.

Premium Tatkal Permit Booking

A small quota is released close to the safari day. This helps guests who confirm their trip late or fail to book during the advance period.

Seats are limited, so early action is important.
