Best Season for a Safari in Gir

The best time to embark on a Gir Wildlife Tour is between October and March when the weather is cool and the chances of spotting majestic animals are significantly higher. During these months, the dry terrain and limited water sources make it easier to observe wildlife, especially the iconic Asiatic lions. The clear skies and pleasant temperatures during the winter season offer an excellent opportunity to fully enjoy the beauty of Gir National Park.

It is important to note that the park remains closed during the monsoon season, from June to October, to support wildlife conservation efforts. For an uninterrupted and memorable experience, planning your Gir Lion Safari Tour during the winter or early summer months is highly recommended.

If you are considering visiting during the peak season, make sure to secure your Gir Lion Safari Tour in advance, as safari slots tend to get fully booked quickly. 

Jeep Safari Experience in Gir

Embark on an unforgettable Gir Wildlife Tour with a thrilling jeep safari at Gir National Park, perfectly curated by Delightful India Holidays. This adventure offers a unique chance to explore the rich biodiversity of Gir and witness the majestic Asiatic lions in their natural habitat.

The jeep safaris operate twice daily, giving you flexible options to experience the park during the serene morning hours or the calm, golden evenings. Morning safaris typically begin at 6:30 am and continue till 9:30 am, followed by a second morning slot from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. For those who prefer exploring in the later part of the day, the evening safari runs from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm.

Each safari, led by a skilled driver and an expert guide, lasts around three hours. During this time, you will venture deep into the core zones of the forest, offering you the best opportunities to spot the iconic Asiatic lions and other fascinating wildlife species.
