Safari can be booked at two places. One at the forest office near Kulagi nature camp. Another at the junction near RFO's office. Here local jeeps and drivers take you to safari. But all jeeps go to the same forest and routes. 600/person I strongly suggest to book at Kulagi nature camp. Jeeps are new and comfy. Local jeeps are modified campers. Looks like plantation workers going to the estate for daily labour. I have done 8 safaris here. Below are my observations 1. Literally, do not have any expectations of animal sightings here. Can only see few numbers of spotted deers and 1-2 sambars. If lucky 1-2 bisons and barking deer 2. Forest is dense. Literally no visibility after 2-3 tree lines. Even if a tiger is posing beyond that tree line, it's impossible spot 3. Just 2 routes are followed during the safari. One can not try to explore and try thier luck 4. Sunset point is a waste of time 5. Forest is thick and beautiful. Mesmerizing experience to travel 6. Except MR. Sandesh, no other driver has bothered to give any introduction or have the interest to spot the animals. Campers are just waste of money 7. Though there are plenty of leopards, majority of them are black/ melanistic, it's unlikely that you get to see one. Same goes for tigers as well. No melanistic tigers here 8. Can spot cows grazing even in the middle of the forest. Everyone is unbothered. 9. If you have been to Kabini, Bandipura or any other safaris where you have seen tigers, do not expect the same here. Just go, enjoy the beautiful forest and return 10. Drivers lack the skill of positioning the jeep to get the photos. 11. If you are bored , want to enjoy the beauty of a forest choose this safari. If your interest is to photograph animals, you are gonna be severely disappointed. Instead choose to stay at OMH and shoot the birds at the hide There is nothing wrong from the forest department side. It's just the terrain of the forest that makes sighting impossible
The path we travel is awesome the real dandeli we can se... And especially the end were thy take us to a view point.. the real forests of Dandeli is seen.. it's just an majestic view... Don't have hope of sighting of wild.. it's just ur luck.. it's not about this safari.. any safari in Karnataka it's just a Luck.. to have sightings.. at Dandeli u could find some basic wild animals and fee is now increased i guess.. but if ur really interested to try do go... It's an experience
We went in the morning safari and not spotted anything. But we spotted tiger/panther/leapord paws. Try in evening and that was suggested by our guide as well.
Forest is dense therefore less chances of sight seeing of animals.
nice safari
Nothing much to experience. Going so far was a complete waste.
Fantastic resort with class, clean and hygienic staying arrangements. Beautiful location, situated, at the core of nature, yet, not far from city centre. Special mention to staff, who made our stay much comfortable.. Quick and polite response from ea
