For those yearning for an immersive jungle adventure, the Corbett Jeep Safari with Dee Fellow Riverside Resort delivers a breathtaking encounter with nature's most majestic creatures, all while offering premium accommodations and hospitality.

Why Choose Jim Corbett for a Jeep Safari Adventure
Jim Corbett National Park, located in Uttarakhand, is the oldest national park in India and home to over 650 species of birds, 50 species of mammals, and the elusive Royal Bengal Tiger. Spread across 520 square kilometers of dense forest, hilly terrains, riverine belts, and open grasslands, Corbett offers unparalleled opportunities to witness wildlife in their natural habitat.
Unlike other reserves, Corbett is divided into several eco-tourism zones—Dhikala, Bijrani, Jhirna, Dhela, Durga Devi, and Garjia—each offering a unique landscape and safari experience. Jeep safaris are conducted under the supervision of trained guides and forest officials, ensuring safety while maximizing sightings.
