Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Ahmedabad to Sasan Gir – Arrival and Relaxed Evening
Your Gir Lion Safari Tour from Ahmedabad begins with a morning pickup from your hotel, residence, railway station or airport. Meet your private driver and begin the journey towards Sasan Gir. The drive covers approximately 350 kilometres and generally takes around 7–9 hours, depending on traffic, road conditions and stops.
Enjoy the changing scenery as Gujarat’s urban landscape gradually gives way to open countryside and the dry forest region of Saurashtra. Breaks can be arranged for breakfast, lunch, tea and refreshments along the route. On arrival in Sasan Gir, check in to your wildlife resort and relax after the journey.
If time permits, you may enjoy a peaceful evening at the resort or explore the nearby village area. Your safari details, pickup time and permit information will be reviewed so that you are ready for the next morning’s wildlife experience.
Overnight: Sasan Gir
Meals: Breakfast, if included in the selected hotel plan
Day 2: Gir Jungle Safari – Wildlife Exploration
Begin the day early for your Gir Jungle Safari. After breakfast, proceed to the designated safari reception point with the required identification documents and permit details. The safari takes you through the forest and woodland habitats of Gir, where you may see Asiatic lions, spotted deer, sambar, nilgai, chinkara, langur, crocodiles and a variety of resident and migratory birds.
Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed because Gir is a natural forest, but the safari offers an authentic opportunity to observe animals in their natural surroundings. Your forest guide and safari driver will follow the permitted route and explain the landscape, animal behaviour and conservation importance of the region.
Return to your resort for breakfast or relaxation, depending on the safari schedule. The afternoon can be kept free for leisure. If you prefer another wildlife activity and availability allows, an additional safari or visit to the Devalia Interpretation Zone may be arranged at an extra cost. Devalia is a separate, managed wildlife experience and should not be described as the same as an open-forest Gir Jungle Safari.
Overnight: Sasan Gir
Meals: Breakfast and dinner, according to the selected hotel plan
Day 3: Sasan Gir to Ahmedabad – Return Journey
After breakfast, check out from your resort and begin the return drive to Ahmedabad. Depending on your departure time and personal interests, you may discuss a suitable stop with your driver. The return journey is ideal for relaxing after your safari and enjoying the rural scenery of Gujarat.
On arrival in Ahmedabad, you will be dropped at your airport, railway station, hotel or preferred location. This completes your 3-day Gir Lion Safari Tour from Ahmedabad with memorable wildlife experiences and comfortable private travel.

FAQs
Q. What is included in this 3-day Gir safari tour?
The standard plan can include Ahmedabad pickup and drop-off, private air-conditioned car, road transfers to Sasan Gir, two nights’ accommodation and assistance with safari planning. Safari permits, vehicles, guides, meals and activity charges depend on the package selected and should be confirmed in your quotation.
Q. Is the Gir Jungle Safari permit included?
Safari permit and vehicle charges are not automatically included unless they are clearly mentioned in your booking confirmation. Gir Jungle Safari permits are issued through the official online booking system, and availability depends on the selected date and slot.
Q. Where should we book the official Gir safari permit?
Use the official Gir Online Permit Booking System for the latest availability, visitor requirements and safari slots. Permits should be arranged in advance because popular dates can fill quickly. Visit the official Gir safari booking portal.
Q. When is Gir National Park closed?
Gir Jungle Safari is closed every year from 16 June to 15 October during the monsoon period. The regular safari season generally starts again on 16 October, subject to official forest department rules and operational updates.
Q. What are the Gir safari timings?
Safari timings change according to the season. The official booking portal currently lists winter morning and afternoon slots, while summer slots begin earlier in the morning and later in the afternoon. Confirm the exact time on your permit because timings and reporting requirements may change.
Q. Can we see Asiatic lions during the safari?
Gir is the natural habitat of the Asiatic lion, and the safari gives visitors an opportunity to look for lions and other wildlife. However, Gir is a natural forest, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. Animal movement depends on weather, season, route and chance.
Q. What other animals can we see in Gir?
Depending on the safari route and conditions, visitors may see spotted deer, sambar, nilgai, chinkara, wild boar, langur, crocodiles and many bird species. Wildlife sightings vary on every safari.
Q. Is Devalia Safari Park the same as Gir Jungle Safari?
No. Gir Jungle Safari is an open-forest safari experience through permitted forest routes. Devalia Safari Park is a separate managed wildlife interpretation experience. Both offer different ways to learn about Gir’s wildlife and should not be described as the same activity.
Q. Is this Gir tour suitable for families?
Yes. A private car gives families flexibility for meal breaks, rest stops and luggage. Children should follow forest rules, remain quiet during the safari and carry suitable clothing, water and sun protection.
Q. What should we carry for the Gir safari?
Carry the original identification document used for the permit, a copy of the safari confirmation, comfortable neutral-coloured clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, water and a camera. Avoid loud colours, plastic waste and unnecessary items inside the safari vehicle.
Q. Can the tour start from Ahmedabad Airport or hotel?
Yes. The private tour can usually begin from Ahmedabad Airport, railway station, hotel or residence. Share your pickup location and preferred departure time while requesting the quotation so the route can be planned properly.
Q. Can we customise this 3-day Gir safari itinerary?
Yes. You can request additional safari drives, a different hotel category, an extra night in Sasan Gir or a combination with Junagadh, Somnath or Diu. Customisation depends on available time, permits and accommodation.
Q. Can we guarantee a lion sighting?
No responsible safari operator can guarantee a lion sighting in a natural forest. The best approach is to allow enough time for the safari, follow the guide’s instructions and enjoy the complete wildlife environment rather than focusing only on one animal.
