Yes, you can go on multiple jeep safaris in a single day in Jim Corbett National Park, subject to availability and park regulations. Here are some details on this:
- Morning and Afternoon Safaris: Typically, safaris in Jim Corbett are divided into morning and afternoon sessions. Each session offers different opportunities for wildlife sightings due to variations in animal activity levels during different times of the day.
- Morning Safari: The morning safari usually starts early, around sunrise, and lasts for about 3-4 hours. This is an excellent time for tiger and wildlife sightings as animals are active during the cooler hours.
- Afternoon Safari: The afternoon safari begins in the late afternoon and lasts for a similar duration. While it may not be as cool as the morning, it offers a different perspective and the chance to spot animals that are more active during this time.
- Zone Allotment: The park is divided into different zones, each with its own entry gate. Depending on the zone you’re assigned to, you may have the option to book both a morning and afternoon safari in the same day.
- Availability: Availability of multiple safaris on the same day depends on factors like the time of year, demand, and the specific rules set by the park authorities. During peak seasons, it can be more challenging to secure multiple safaris in a single day.
- Booking: To book multiple safaris in a single day, you can check with your safari operator or the park’s booking system. It’s advisable to plan and book your safaris well in advance, especially if you have specific zones and times in mind.
- Cost: Each safari comes with its own cost, and you will need to pay for each one separately. The rates may vary depending on the zone and the type of safari (core or buffer zone).
- Rest Between Safaris: Keep in mind that wildlife safaris can be physically demanding, involving bumpy rides and exposure to the elements. It’s essential to consider your stamina and comfort level before booking multiple safaris in a day.
- Time Management: Efficiently managing your time between safaris is crucial, as you’ll need to exit the park, return to your accommodation (if necessary), and re-enter for the next safari. Plan your meals and breaks accordingly.
- Guided Tours: If you’re on a guided tour, your tour operator will usually handle the logistics of booking multiple safaris in a day and ensuring a seamless experience.
