Days after a frightening leopard incident, Bannerghatta Biological Park has resumed its popular non-AC bus safari service with significant safety enhancements. The park authorities have taken decisive measures to ensure visitor protection while maintaining the wilderness experience.
Enhanced Safety Measures Implemented
In an official statement released on Monday, November 17, 2025, Bannerghatta Biological Park (BBP) authorities confirmed that all non-AC safari buses have been retrofitted with specialized safety features. The most crucial upgrade involves welding no-gap mesh windows onto all vehicles, creating an impenetrable barrier between passengers and wildlife.
This proactive response comes shortly after a leopard attack raised concerns about safari safety protocols. Park management moved quickly to address potential vulnerabilities in their transportation system while maintaining the authentic jungle experience that visitors cherish.
Return of the Popular Non-AC Experience
The resumption of non-AC bus safaris marks an important milestone for the park, which attracts thousands of nature enthusiasts and tourists annually. Unlike air-conditioned vehicles that provide sealed environments, the non-AC buses offer a more immersive experience with natural airflow and unobstructed views.
However, this authentic experience now comes with reinforced security. The newly installed mesh windows allow visitors to enjoy the sights and sounds of the wilderness while being protected from any potential animal encounters. Park officials emphasize that the mesh design maintains visibility while eliminating any gaps that could compromise safety.
Visitor Confidence and Future Precautions
The swift implementation of safety upgrades demonstrates the park administration's commitment to visitor welfare. By addressing security concerns promptly and transparently, Bannerghatta Biological Park aims to rebuild visitor confidence and ensure that wildlife enthusiasts can continue to enjoy close encounters with nature without compromising their safety.
Park authorities have assured the public that regular safety audits will continue, and all safari vehicles will undergo thorough inspections before each trip. The enhanced non-AC safari buses are now operational and accepting visitors, offering the same thrilling wildlife experience with significantly improved protection measures.
