What a great experience! Highly recommend! Our driver Nadeem navigated the tricky traffic and safely got us to and from the park. Excellent communication from the tour operator. The experience was a once in a lifetime thing. We saw Elephants, Tigers, Lions, Bears, Deer and more! Our at site tour guide Raju was fabulous!
Spent a great day at Bannerghatta nature park enjoying the safari, butterfly park & zoo. Would highly recommend.
I am a female solo traveler. This was a great experience. I was staying at Hilton Garden Inn Bangalore and they picked me up at my hotel and dropped me back off. They offered Indian breakfast and lunch at the end. The animals are in a nature preserve so they are behind enclosures but you see quite a lot. The Butterfly Garden is lovely! Great for photos! And then you get to explore the zoo!! I went in the Summer. The bus was nice and had some a/c. The windows open (behind the bars of course) it was nice and breezy. Bring water, sunscreen, bug spray because the second two parts are outside exploring on your own on foot. Bring a little toilet paper. There are toilets along the way, but some run out of paper. Always good to be prepared! Great experience! It is a 1.5 drive there and almost 2 hour drive from my hotel given traffic so while it’s only a few miles I didn’t get back from my morning trip till about 3:30pm.
Nice trip, the experience was almost private. We drove quietly through the park and the guide took the time to tell us about the animals we encountered. All native to India. The elephants, the tigers lions, bears and more close by. Wonderful experience that makes a visit to the zoo forget.
Highly recommend this safari tour. Wonderful views of the animals, and superior staff. Such a natural setting for viewing!
We saw Tigers, Lions, Leopards and Elephants up close from our safari vehicle. Also lots of different types of deer and a water buffalo. Made my day! Next we enjoyed a visit to the butterfly house followed by the zoo. We had a good day.
I can't rate this experience highly enough. The safari elephants were worth the price alone, plus the zoo (and more elephants!)..also so many animals on the safari. Tigers, crocodiles, leopard... then a visit to the amazing butterfly world, the zoo (some monkeys roaming free!) and a delicious Indian lunch. Don't miss this one for value, experience and hospitality.
This tour involves a 1-1.5 hour car ride to the Bannerghatta National Park, where one joins a group safari bus tour through the rounds of the National Park. We saw elephants, deer, lions, tigers, bison, bears. I was slightly disappointed to learn that these animals are not truly "wild" - they are managed within very large enclosed spaces within the park - but we did see a wild elephant. The safari tour is narrated in English (pre-recorded), though the non-English speaking guide did point out the animals from the driver's seat. After the group safari bus tour, we are given free time (approx 1.5 hours) to explore the butterfly park and a zoo. The monkeys in the zoo were a lot of fun. There were some free roaming monkeys too. Finally, we are taken back to the base camp and there is a buffet lunch. Nice things: Lots of animals, free time in the zoo which is pretty good. Things to keep in mind: This national park is managed - the animals are in very large enclosures and are not truly free-roaming for the most part.
Excellent experience . Everything went smoothly and saw lots of wildlife and all guides and staff were very kind and helpful.
We had a great time! There were so many animals to see on the safari. We wish the open jeeps were available but the experience was great overall.
