There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I have read that Bandipur and Kabini are very poorly managed reserves, for one... The jeeps are enclosed so you're not able to take long lens shots from the roof which is a must, especially since those jeeps are small to begin with and for taller people like my self, standing was a nice reprieve. I have also read that the guides are late getting in, they don't go to the core area since it's far from the gate and they don't communicate well. 
This is a serious problem, they really need to fix these issues, S. India is such a treasure trove of Wildlife, it should be one of the most popular safari destinations in India but it's a long way from that.
Has anyone else heard these issues or other issues like this?

Both lack standardisation. With the renewed tourist boom many private tour operators companies want in & some resorts also manage their private safaris. Understandably a good portion of them are not very professional. System of on spot booking exists, which is often misused.

The Forest Department safaris contain a bus safari. Never seen anyone praise it.

As far as i know, the jeep safari are mostly conducted by the jungle lodges (govt ones included). Mostly noisy older models, not Gypsy like Kanha.

Although, now-a-days newer models like Bolero are being inducted. Much superior to Gypsys, quieter too.

Still a long way to go. Might become one of the tourist-friendly reserves like Kanha, or turn into a ripoff-heaven like Ranthambore. Only time can tell...
