Spread over an area of ​​1412 m2. kilometers near the Junagarh district of Gujrat, the Gir Wildlife Sanctuary is a haven for wildlife connoisseurs. Renowned around the world for hosting the last wild population of Asiatic lions, it is the most visited wildlife sanctuary in India. Gir offers the wildlife experience that ranks among the best in India. Truly the flagship of India’s National Parks, Gir is home to 300 bird species, 30 mammals and 24 reptile species.

Gir is the only place in India where you can see lions in their natural habitat. Taking the lion safari in Gir National Parks is the most exciting experience one can have. The park offers lion safaris in open vehicles, accompanied by experienced guides or trackers. The Asiatic Lion (Panthera Leo paersica) is a magnificent beast. When it roars, the neighborhood calms down. It is said that the first time the pursuer hears the Asiatic lion roar at night, he feels its morality and fear of it. The sound of lions coughing at night can make the bravest tremble. Lion safari in Gir National Park surely gives you the royal feeling of the ancient era. The best time to spot this exclusive beast is at dawn or dusk, when they are energetic and ready to hunt.

Seeing the King of the Jungle from the safety of a safari vehicle is exciting enough, but it’s nothing compared to standing deep in the jungle, miles from the vehicle, and seeing the Asiatic lion up close. As you take the walk, watch the lioness and cubs near the path as the lion lay unperturbed under the huge tree. Travelers can also take a walk deep into the woods, treat themselves to examining the spots or markings of lions near streams, and observe them from a distance. While inside the forests, you also have the opportunity to visit the ancient temples, see waterfalls and enjoy the serene beauty of the forest.

You can spend a night in the camps, to the sound of lions in the roost, the calls of owls and the chatter of hungry scavengers searching for the remains of a kill. Visitors also have the opportunity to meet and chat with the locals and learn about them and their traditions. You can enjoy the tribal dance with the Siddi’s (the tribal people, originally from Africa). Lion Safari in Gir National Park is truly unforgettable.
