How naturalist bookings work

Request a naturalist for your safari

  1. Open a naturalist's profile and choose your safari date, session, gate and number of guests.
  2. Send the pre-filled enquiry to Team Maya on WhatsApp.
  3. Team Maya checks the naturalist's availability and confirms the arrangement and charges with you.

All naturalist bookings are subject to availability and confirmation by Team Maya. Safari permits, Gypsy and naturalist charges are confirmed separately and follow Wildlife Department rules.

Good to know

  • Naturalists help you read the forest; they cannot promise a sighting. Tiger and other wildlife sightings depend on animal movement, weather, forest conditions and chance. Maya Stays cannot guarantee sightings of any particular species.
  • Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary is normally closed for regular safaris on Tuesdays, subject to Wildlife Department updates.
  • Safari permits are booked separately and remain subject to Wildlife Department rules. Safari booking assistance →
