FAQs
The Forest Department manages jungle safaris. We recommend booking your slots online via the official portal at least 15 days in advance, as they fill up fast. You can choose between a Jeep or a Canter safari based on availability.
Coorg is chilly in the mornings and nights, so carry a light jacket. For the Kabini safari, wear earthy colors (green, brown, or khaki). Avoid bright colors, as they can startle the wildlife and reduce sighting chances.
While there isn’t a strict “uniform,” visitors are expected to dress modestly. Please ensure your shoulders and knees are covered. Also, remember to maintain silence inside the prayer halls and remove your shoes before entering.
The road to Coorg involves some “ghat” sections with winding curves. If you are prone to motion sickness, we suggest sitting in the front seat and carrying basic medication. The road to Kabini is mostly flat and very smooth.
