India’s tiger reserves, booked with the right lodge and the right guide.
Ranthambore, Bandhavgarh, Jim Corbett — India’s national parks reward good planning: the right lodge, the right zones, and safari slots booked in advance. We handle all of it, permits included.
IATA & ATOL accredited
London office, real people who answer
Booked properly — permits, zones and lodges included
Safari slots and park zones get booked out in advance, and lodge quality varies a lot — we handle both.
Permits & safari slots handled
Zones and safari timings booked in advance, not left to chance on arrival.
Lodges we’ve actually vetted
From simple to genuinely luxurious jungle lodges — matched to what you want and what’s nearby.
Easy to combine with other regions
Ranthambore pairs naturally with a Golden Triangle route; Bandhavgarh and Corbett work well as their own trip.

We didn’t build this business to sell fares. We built it to stay part of the community.
Patel Travel started as, and still is, a family business serving London’s Indian community — Gujarati, Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu spoken in the office, not just on a translation app. We know the festival calendar, the wedding season, and the families who’ve booked with us for a decade or more.
Languages spoken
Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu & English — ask for someone in your language.
Festival-aware
We plan around Diwali, Navratri and wedding season, not just school holidays.
Word of mouth
Most of our clients are referred by family or friends we’ve already looked after.
Meet Mr. Patel
Patel Travel has always felt like family, not a booking engine. Mr. Patel is the face of that: the reminder that behind every reply is someone who understands the itinerary and the culture, and won’t rest until it’s sorted.
Recent safari trips
“We saw a tiger on our third safari — the guide and zone booking they arranged clearly made the difference.”
“Combining Ranthambore with our Rajasthan trip was such an easy add — barely added to the travel time.”
Wildlife safari — common questions
Are tiger sightings guaranteed?
No — it’s genuinely wild, and no operator can promise a sighting. Multiple safaris across a few days gives you a fair chance, and the parks are worth visiting regardless.
Which park should we choose?
Ranthambore is the easiest to combine with a Rajasthan or Golden Triangle trip; Bandhavgarh and Corbett suit a dedicated wildlife-focused trip.
How far in advance do safaris need booking?
As early as possible — zone permits are limited and popular time slots sell out weeks ahead in peak season.
