Reservations for online safaris in Ranthambore National Park are regulated by the Rajasthan government.

Reservations for online safaris in Ranthambore National Park are regulated by the Rajasthani government.

The forest administration in Ranthambore National Park (RNP) has now set a limit for tourists and travel agents to book safari tickets in advance through Single Sign-On (SSO).

According to the new limit, the SSO ID can be used to book a safari six times in advance. According to reports, this move will likely bring transparency to safari bookings, which RNP agents previously controlled.

Previously, there were no restrictions on booking any number of safaris in advance using a single ID. The new system allows only six advance online bookings per month from a single SSO ID.

In reference to this, a senior official noted that brokers used to reserve every seat in advance for their borders under fictitious names, then resell them to tourists anxious to enter the park for a premium fee. The most recent change means that after making six advance online reservations using the same ID, reservations will no longer be permitted, and one must login using that ID alone.

According to the sources, the software has a system that will prevent a specific person from making bulk bookings. However, these agents are able to get around the security system by using a secret login and password that allows them to access bulk bookings.

As one of the best tiger reserves in the nation, the park has drawn numerous visitors from all over the country since it opened on October 1. These travelers arrive in Ranthambore but are unable to reserve a spot for themselves on a safari vehicle. As a result, they are willing to spend twice or even three times as much to go on safari, which is how agents profit.

Now that the online reservation system has been improved by the forest department, bogus safari bookings are likely to come to an end.

A senior official explaining this technique stated that it will end the practice of booking vehicles with fictitious identities, canceling fictitious bookings at odd hours, and utilizing the vacancy left by booking with real names. In the new system that allows waitlists, canceling a confirmed reservation won't free up new slots for new reservations; instead, it will convert a reservation on the waitlist to a confirmed reservation.
