Guides in Ranthambore?
My friends and I are going to do a "Golden Triangle" trip with 3 additional days at Ranthambore Park to see wildlife (may a tiger?) in early April. I have read different threads on this forum about the tiger safaris and the difference between the African and Indian safaris.I have also read trip reports regarding tiger safaris. I just wondered if I can request a specific guide through my TA in India at the park and if anyone has a recommendation for someone OR ,if this is even possible? We are going to stay at Nahargarh at Sawai Madhopur. We are reserving a Jeep as well.

Unless it has changed in the last four years, seats and specific routes are awarded in a daily lottery. Its possible you might not even get a jeep for your tour, much less a specific one. I believe you can hire a guide to come along as part of your party, though the ones we had on our three rides were fine.

I had read about the daily lottery of routes. I just didn't want to get a guide that wasn't experienced in the park. I have read reports of some that didn't seem to care if you saw other wildlife or not, just drove really fast through the park.
