If you're an Australian traveller passionate about nature, wildlife, and photography, India’s national parks offer some of the most thrilling safari experiences outside of Africa. From majestic Royal Bengal tigers to wild elephants, rhinos, leopards, and diverse birdlife, this forum is dedicated to helping Aussie tourists explore the best Indian wildlife safari destinations.

Discover world-famous reserves like Ranthambore in Rajasthan, Bandhavgarh and Kanha in Madhya Pradesh, and Kaziranga in Assam—home to the one-horned rhinoceros. Learn how to book safaris, choose between jeep safaris vs. canter safaris, the best time to visit (typically October to April), and what to expect in terms of accommodation, entry permits, and naturalist guides.

We’ll also share packing tips for safaris (yes, it gets cold on early morning rides!), how to blend comfort with eco-conscious travel, and how Indian safaris differ from the ones back home in Australia.

This is your space to ask questions, share photos, and trade tips with other Australian nature lovers. Whether you're a wildlife photographer, birdwatcher, or just someone craving a raw, unforgettable jungle experience, let’s plan your wild India adventure together.
