The Bengal Safari park is a genuine Safari park with small busses do tours of the separate 20 hectare natural Enviroment areas where tiger, leopard, bear and deer roam wild . You cannot get closer to these animals any other ways, unless you are friends with David Attenbourgh. Other birds / animals have separate emclosures and they even have a Kangaroo. At least 4 hours is required for a complete experience. The safari is so good. Jungle is beautiful and the animals are main attraction. We were able to see deer, leopards, asiatic black bear and royal bengal tigers up close. Their grand safari is the best deal one can go for. One hour of complete fun for all nature lovers. Staff is co-operative, you can also get some memorabilia at very reasonable rates. There are many food junctions to choose from. Food ranges from puri bhaaji to hot dogs, burgers and momos. The safari was good. One thing I found weird was that even though seats were left for safari of 2:45 pm, the person at the front told us that all seats were sold out and have to wait for safari of 4 pm which was not feasible for us as we reached there at 2 pm. But later on, my father requested her and she provided us with tickets. You can see tigers very clearly even though we were unable to see leopards in the wild. Totally VFM experience. Safari is worth visiting. There isn’t much beyond the safari and the tickets for the same get sold out very fast. So always book online tickets beforehand for a smooth experience. ...
