Safari Ride
Safari ride, our favorite of all! Bannerghatta offers a variety of options from Jeeps to AC busses to watch the mighty wild ones in their natural habitat and from the comfort of your seat.
The AC bus had no grills , safest of all and had a fantastic view, so we went with it. The bus excursion lasted for about 30 mins. The bus route passes through the Bannerghatta national park where the animals live in their natural habitat. Animals range from deer, elephants, tigers, lions, and many more. The ride indeed brings out the enthusiasm of the inner child even in grownups. Not to mention that the way the gates were put up for each sector reminded me of Jurassic Park but minus the grandeur.
