Yes, jeeps are safe for a tiger safari in India. The only point of understanding is that the jeep and its occupants must at all times maintain a safe distance from the wildlife around. If you hinder their space or peace, they might not like it and in turn leave the area. Always remember that you are in their territory and it is only basic courtesy to not disturb them. Do not get off your safari vehicle to click photos, do not feed them, and do not ask the driver/guide/naturalist to speed up to chase wildlife around. These are basic rules and any form of disobedience is strictly punishable.
The temperature in Indian jungles varies throughout the day. It reaches a maximum of 45 degrees Celcius in hot summer months like April and May, while it drops to a pleasant 25 degrees Celcius in the evening.

Yes, it is safe to stay inside the national park during your tiger safari trip to India. However, one must be aware that roaming free outside your room post-sunset is strictly prohibited. You could encounter the wildlife of any kind and it could be dangerous. These rules are more specifically followed if you're lodging in rest house like the Dhikala Forest Rest House in Corbett National Park, but not so much in lodges that are located slightly away from the jungle's main boundary.
Elephant safaris aren't allowed anymore. However, there is a one hour elephant safari that you can if you have a full day safari permit. The full day permit allows you to do an elephant safari for an hour post which you switch back to a jeep.
All national parks in India are great for wildlife photography. However, something that might help you is our list of 11 point to know before photographing a tiger in the wild.
The top 5 animals to spot in Indian National parks will depend on the park you are visiting.

A jeep is an open roofed car which is the most agile form of tiger safari within an Indian national park. It has the capacity to seat a naturalist (also your driver), a guide (as provided by the forest department) and 06 guests while on safari. A canter on the other hand is an open roofed mini bus which has the seating capacity of a driver, guide and 16-20 guests.
The probability is 50-50. One can never be too sure of this number. There are times when our guests even sight 02-03 tigers in a single tiger safari in India. Tiger safaris are a matter of good tiger tracking skills, patience and luck.

The professional documentaries that you see on television on wildlife involves months of shooting, expensive equipment, special permissions from the authorities, weeks of post-production and a great deal of resources. Importantly you don’t see those things when you yourself are on a tiger safari.
Please see the video below shot by our team during a safari, using regular video camera, in a regular safari vehicle, no tripods, and no extra permissions.

NATIONAL PARKS IN INDIA
There are over 600 national parks in India which home to close to 200 endangered mammal species. The Royal Bengal Tiger is one of the flagship species as not only is it the apex predator of the very forests that thrive here, it is also the biggest cat among its brothers.
Recently conducted, the latest Tiger census saw a substantial increase of about 22% in the big cat population. While this is most certainly attributed to the commendable effort of the people involved in conservation, this feat is also credited to the resilience and adaptability of the Royal Bengal Tiger through the entire Indian subtropical eco-system.
National Parks in India vary with varying tropics and landscapes. We have the dry deciducous forest of Ranthambore National Park in the western part of India while the evergreen Sal forest of Kanha National Park thrives in Central India. Corbett National Park is unique as it rests in the foothills of the Great Himayan Range, making it an awe stunning frame to capture. India has some of the most biodiverse lands making it a hotspot for wildlife safaris and nature enthusiats. It is also important to note that Wildlife Tourism in India has played a key role in the conservation important flora and fauna in our national parks. The flow of money into local community as a consequence of tourism related activities, has considerably reduced the pressure on the forests for bio-mass.
