Additional Info

When is the best time for the Rafting and Jungle Safari Tour?

The best time for the rafting and jungle safari tour is during spring (March to May) and autumn (late September to November) for a safe yet thrilling experience. During autumn, the river experiences a gentle rise in water level which makes it a thrilling yet comfortable experience. Spring is perfect for even safer rafting experience as water level is low so you can enjoy a relaxing raft down the stream. These seasons are also perfect for jungle safari as they are dry seasons when jungle becomes less dense, grasses are short which increases visibility. You get increased animal sightings during these months.
