Frequently asked questions
Is Sitabani the same as a Corbett safari zone?
Sitabani is a separate conservation reserve. Whether jeep safaris run there, and how they are booked, needs to be confirmed at the time of travel — ask us.
Is a tiger sighting guaranteed in Sitabani?
No. Corbett is a wild forest, not a zoo. Any zone can offer memorable wildlife and none can promise a particular animal. Patience, the right season and a good guide help.
How do I book a safari in Sitabani?
Safari entry is by permit and limited per shift. Send us your dates on WhatsApp and we will tell you what is available and how to proceed.
