What is best Gypsy or Canter to visit tiger safari?

A Gypsy is a small 6 seater 4 wheel drive vehicle whereas a Canter is a larger vehicle like a mini truck having sitting capacity of 16 to20 people in one vehicle. The choice of booking Canter or Gypsy is always differentiate according the comfort and budget. In my opinion the best way to spot tigers is to book a gypsy which is little more expensive in compare to the canter but surely more comfortable and more reliable to spot the tigers. The canter safari is not so cool because the drivers are not so informative and always in hurry to complete the regular tour , the sound of canter is also high which can disturb the wild animals and always a less possibility to get close view of wild animals.

The naturalist guides can also answer easily to your question during your safari in a gypsy as they have only 6 members with him whereas canter safari is always filled with around 20 people which will talk and make noise as well some time which can disturb the sightseeing of tigers. In gypsy you have also the option to take more breaks where the possibility is more for spotting tigers instead of that canter are only taking stops on regular points. By the gypsy you will also get best angles for photography and can easily travel with big cameras and accessories.
