About Chitwan Safari: who we are and how we work

Chitwan Safari is a planning and booking website that focuses on one place: Chitwan National Park and the villages around it. We help you choose the right safari, book it with clear prices and inclusions, and arrive knowing exactly what to expect.

What Chitwan Safari is

We’re an independent website for travelers who want to plan and book a safari in Chitwan. Everything here is about this one destination: its activities, wildlife and seasons, plus the practical details of getting there and staying.

Our travel guide is written to answer real questions honestly, including the ones that don’t help us sell, like when not to go, or why a tiger sighting is never guaranteed. Our tours are built from the activities and lengths of stay that work best for most visitors.

How we run our safaris

Licensed local guides.As park rules require, activities inside the national park are led by licensed nature guides, and walks go with two guides.
Clear inclusions.Every tour page lists what is and isn’t included, so you’ll know about park fees, meals and transport before you book.
Transparent prices.You’ll see the current price on every tour page. We don’t add charges after you book; the one exception is a change in government park fees or taxes, and we’ll tell you about that straight away.
Capped group sizes.Shared activities are capped (see each tour’s group size), and jeeps carry roughly 6–8 guests.
Private options.Families, couples and photographers can book private safaris with their own vehicle and guide.
Responsible wildlife watching.We keep a respectful distance, keep the noise down and follow park rules.

We also try to give honest advice on timing. If your dates fall in the monsoon or the hottest weeks, we’ll say so and explain what that means for activities, so you can decide with the full picture. Our best time to visit guide covers it month by month.

What we don’t do

  • We don’t bait, feed or call wildlife to create sightings.
  • We don’t guarantee sightings of any animal. Rhinos are seen often; tigers, rarely.
  • We don’t ask guides or drivers to chase animals or go off permitted tracks.
  • We don’t add surprise charges after you book. The only exception is a change in government park fees or taxes, and we’ll tell you about it promptly.

On elephant activities, our elephant safari page gives honest information about welfare and current availability, so you can make your own choice.
