Looking for a holiday that excites the kids, relaxes the adults and gives everyone a story to tell? A Jim Corbett family trip does exactly that. Here is why it works so well for families and how to plan one.
Why Jim Corbett works for families
- Easy to reach: about 250 km from Delhi by road or an overnight train to Ramnagar.
- Safe safaris: you stay in an open jeep or canter with a guide throughout.
- Comfortable stays: family resorts with lawns, pools and space to relax.
- Plenty beyond the jungle: rivers, temples, a museum and nature walks.
Safaris the whole family can enjoy
A jeep suits small families who want flexibility; a 16-seater canter works for larger groups. Morning drives are best. For age tips and what to pack, read our Jim Corbett safari with kids guide.
