I was in Velvadar National Park in December 2024. It is great – we saw pretty much the same species listed here, with the addition of striped hyena. Jungle cat was very reliable – I think we saw at least one on every game drive. Wolf sightings were also very good. The namesake animal – the blackbuck antelope – is also abundant with good close sightings.
We stayed in Blackbuck Lodge which is expensive but very good.
