What does a weekend trip from Hyderabad look like?

A weekend works best as a two-night stay, because the drive takes most of one day each way.

  • Day 1: Leave Hyderabad early. A start around 6:00 to 7:00 AM gets you to the resort in the early afternoon. Check-in is at 2:00 pm.
  • Day 2: Safaris run in morning and evening slots. The safari park is closed on Tuesdays, so plan your dates around that. Safari charges are separate from your stay and are booked and paid on the forest department website, so confirm your date before you travel.
  • Day 3: Check-out is at 11:00 am, then the drive back.

Our Weekend Wildlife Getaway package is 2 nights and 3 days. See the safari booking guide for how safari booking works.
