Thanks to the hilly region and plains in Jawai, spotting a leopard is possible throughout the year. However, if you want to maximize the probability, then plan your tour between the month of October and March. Leopard safari is conducted twice in a day i.e. morning and evening. You can spot the leopards in both the time slots that could be chosen as per your preference.
How many people can be accommodated in 1 gypsy?
7 people can sit comfortably in the gypsy we provide.
Can all the activities be covered in a day?
We suggest our guests to have a thorough tour of the whole region while spotting leopards, birds, crocodiles, visiting Jawai Dam and even some other locations nearby as well as enjoying the bonfire and delicious meals. Wildlife photography and temple visits are time-consuming activities, and we want you to relish every moment while you engage in them. It would be a really hasty visit if you have to complete all of these activities in one day. Therefore, we suggest you plan a tour for minimum 2 days so you could enjoy the trip to its fullest.
What is the probability of seeing a leopard in Jawai safari?
The probability of seeing a leopard in Jawai is 99% in any season or month. However, you must keep one thing in mind that leopards in Jawai live in caves and they are solitary beings.

Nevertheless, our drivers know all the hotspots where these big cats can be easily spotted and the likeliness of not seeing them is very less.

Are Jawai leopards harmful to human beings?
Not at all, leopards have been co-existing with humans in this area for a couple of decades now and there hasn’t been a single attack on human reported. The local tribals have been taking their cattle for grazing to the riverside for years, but they don’t even attack the animals when they are accompanied with a human. Therefore, it is perfectly safe for humans to do safari ride here without the fear of getting attacked by the leopards.
Can I book extra safaris after reaching your property?
Yes, you surely can. We understand that you might be willing to do more safaris after seeing the surroundings and we have a fleet of jeeps along with drivers that can take multiple groups on the ride at the same time. However, the availability of jeeps depends on many things and we would suggest that you pre-book the safari before coming to the resort.
What all things should I carry while doing a safari?
If you go by the book then you should have a binocular, camera, shoes, cap/hat, safari clothes.

Even if you don’t have a high-end DSLR, you can take some close shots with your camera phone as well.
