Sasan Gir Safari
Enter the last kingdom of the Asiatic lion — one of the world's most exclusive wildlife encounters in Gir's ancient teak forests of Gujarat.
Discover Gir — The Lion's Kingdom
Gir Forest National Park in Gujarat is the last natural habitat of the Asiatic lion — one of the world's rarest and most majestic big cats. Once hunted almost to extinction, the Asiatic lion has made a remarkable recovery under strict protection, with the Gir population now exceeding 600 individuals.
A safari in Gir is one of the world's most exclusive wildlife experiences — you're entering the private kingdom of the king of the jungle. Beyond lions, Gir is home to over 300 bird species, leopards, hyenas, crocodiles, and a rich diversity of forest life that makes every game drive an adventure.
Why Visit Sasan Gir?
Embark on government-permitted open jeep safaris into the heart of Gir Forest — tracking the Asiatic lion through ancient teak, acacia, and dry deciduous forest with government-certified naturalist guides.
Visit the enclosed Devalia Park — a smaller version of Gir where lion sightings are almost certain, perfect for families and photographers seeking guaranteed encounters.
Over 350 bird species inhabit Gir — from crested serpent eagles and paradise flycatchers to Indian rollers and flamingos at the Kamleshwar reservoir.
Visit the Kamleshwar Dam reservoir — India's largest marsh crocodile population basks on the banks alongside herons, storks, and waders in extraordinary numbers.
Meet the Maldhari tribal community — traditional cattle herders who have coexisted with lions for generations inside the national park in remarkable harmony.
Relax at a jungle lodge at the edge of the forest — evening nature walks, naturalist talks, bonfire dinners, and the distant roar of lions in the night air.
