Morning & Evening Safari Schedules
Rajaji offers two safari sessions daily - choose based on your wildlife goals and photography preferences.
Morning Safari
6:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Best for Tigers
Elephant Herds
Golden Light
3.5 Hours
Morning is prime wildlife time. Tigers are most active at dawn before the heat sets in. Elephant herds often cross the Ganga canal road in early morning. Chilla Zone morning slots fill up fastest - book 2-3 weeks in advance during peak season (Dec-Feb).
Evening Safari
3:00 PM - 6:30 PM
Leopard Active
Deer at Waterholes
Sunset Photography
3.5 Hours
Evening safaris are underrated. Animals move to waterholes in the late afternoon. Leopards become active at dusk - Motichur and Ranipur zones shine in the evening. Fewer bookings than morning, making it easier to secure last-minute slots.
