Frequently Asked Questions

Enquire through our Plan Your Trip form, WhatsApp or phone with your dates and group size, and our team handles the permit, vehicle and guide booking on your behalf.

A government-issued photo ID for every visitor (name, age, nationality, sex), with the ID number recorded on the permit. International visitors must provide passport details.

Vehicle numbers per safari are limited, so we recommend booking as early as possible — up to 120 days ahead where you can.

A waiting-list booking is only confirmed once the waiting list clears. If it hasn't cleared by 5 days before your date, the permit is cancelled and the amount refunded.

No. An entry permit is issued to a named individual for a specific date and time, and cannot be transferred.

Leopards, Indian wolves, striped hyenas, sloth bears, chital, sambar, chinkara, nilgai and over 200 recorded bird species share the Kuno landscape.
