Big Cat Safaris & Holidays

Big Cat Safaris can be arranged in many African countries, Sri Lanka and India through the wildlife specialist tour operators listed with Blue Sky Wildlife. Who doesn’t want to see one of the world’s big cats up close and personal? Nothing can be more thrilling on a wildlife holiday than the sight of a tiger, lion or puma crossing your path, or a jaguar hanging out in a tree.

If you are choosing from the local experts on Blue Sky Wildlife you are booking direct. So you’ll have the opportunity of personal contact with  specialist guides to finding out the best time to plan your Big Cat Safari. And, with their help you’ll have the maximum opportunity of seeing your favourite big cat.

On big cat safaris to Africa, for instance, there is a greater chance of Big Five animal encounters between July and September. But you will need local knowledge of each game reserve to tell you where you’ll get the best opportunity of meeting a pride of lions.

Choosing July to September also applies if your bucket list includes a big cat safari to see Jaguars in the Pantanal in Brazil. These are some of the most elusive big cats to spot. However, they come down to the rivers to drink in the dry season and this is also the time when it’s easiest to penetrate the jungle.

By contrast, a big cat safari for Snow Leopard in the Himalayas is best undertaken in the winter months, from November to March. Again, expert advice is vital to ensure you have the right information and gear for a big cat tour in this challenging environment.
