Jungle Safari: Encounter With The Untamed

by Yashi Ganguly Writer
Forests are a beautiful treasure of nature. Forests are home to a diverse floral and faunal diversity. Many different varieties of plants, trees, shrubs, creepers, herbs and bushes can be seen in forests. You can get to see bright and beautiful, fragrant flowers blooming. Forests are habitats for many different animals, birds, reptiles and insects. You can hear the tiger and lion roar, and the majestic elephant trumpet in the forest. You can see many other animals like the deer, hyena, rhinoceros, jackal, fox, wild buffalo and leopard roaming the forests. There are many beautiful and colourful birds that you can see in the forests flying about merrily, and calling and singing sweetly. A number of brightly coloured butterflies with diverse patterns on their wings can also besighted on flight going from flower to flower along fragrant scents and nectars. Forests are also habitats for many snakes and a number of worms.

You need to actually go to the jungle to experience the beautiful natural landscape it is endowed with, away from human habitation, and watch the many life forms that inhabit it. Nature lovers, adventure buffs and wanderlusts enjoy going into the jungles and experiencing the feel of the natural surroundings, relishing the sights, the sounds and the fragrances of the place.  

Jungle safaris let you go and explore the jungle. Tourists can hire a vehicle that has permission to go through the jungle. Forests come under the country’s protected areas, and therefore there are rules to follow regarding when and how tourists can go on a jungle safari.



There is often a guide who takes the tourists on a safari in the jungle, who is usually from the local community and well-versed with the forest. The guides can provide useful botanical and zoological information. They can give information on the plants and their medicinal properties as also the habits and habitats of the animals.  

Going on a jungle safari is an experience worth having. It lets a tourist take a look at Nature from very close quarters. Tourists can also capture the beautiful sights of the forest on their cameras. 

Adventure travel companies arrange such jungle safaris. They arrange safaris in particular forests according to the months when tourists are allowed for visiting them.

In these months, the adventure travel companies arrange groups of tourists for safaris. The travel companies arrange return tickets by air or rail to the destination closest to the forest area, as also further travel to the forest by private cars or in buses. Food and boarding arrangements are also made by them. There are customized packages too that can be provided by the companies for tourists. There is also a payment to be made for entering the forests. All these costs may be included in a package offered by a travel company. If there are any specific requirements for a group of tourists or for an individual tourist these could also be accommodated by the travel company at a cost.
