Canter Safari Ranthambore
Affordable group safari experience in a spacious 20-seater open bus
About Canter Safari
The Canter Safari is an excellent budget-friendly option for exploring Ranthambore National Park. These large open-top buses can accommodate up to 20 passengers, making it an affordable choice for solo travelers, backpackers, and those looking to experience wildlife without breaking the bank.
While canters are larger and cannot access the narrow forest trails like jeeps, they still provide an authentic safari experience. The elevated seating offers panoramic views of the landscape, and the social atmosphere makes for memorable shared experiences when spotting wildlife.
Canter safaris are available in all zones of Ranthambore National Park, subject to forest department allocation. These vehicles provide good wildlife viewing opportunities, and while the elevated seating offers panoramic views, they cannot access narrow forest trails like jeeps can. Visitors may see diverse wildlife including deer, birds, and occasionally leopards.
