Step into a haven of serenity 

Lying in Rajasthan's rugged landscape of golden dunes and desert winds, the Machiya Safari Park is an oasis for nature enthusiasts to enjoy its untamed splendour.  Situated 8.5 kilometres from the heart of Jodhpur, this biological park spans 41 hectares of the vast 604-hectare Machiya Forest Block. It is a sanctuary home to Rajasthan's variety of wildlife species.

Conceived in 1982–83, the Machiya Safari Park stands as a satellite of the city's heritage zoo, yet its allure transcends mere exhibits, inviting you to enjoy quiet moments with the wild side of Rajasthan. The one experience that reigns supreme in the park is the majestic elephant ride. As you ride on these gentle giants, the experience transcends mere sightseeing, allowing you an adventure with an elevated view of the wildlife that roams this sanctuary.

Unwind in nature's embrace

With its winding paths and lush glades resonating with the sounds of the wild, the Machiya Safari Park is a sight to behold. Graceful deer roam freely here, their elegant forms gliding in the sunlight. Catch a glimpse of the desert fox darting amidst the undergrowth, its russet coat a reminder of the untamed beauty of the wild. Monitor desert lizards and relics of prehistoric times, bask lazily on warm rocks, and their presence is a reminder of the ancient species that once called this land home.

Blue bulls and rabbits feed amidst the green meadows, and the air pulsates with sounds of the wild; the calls of mongooses and monkeys echo through the sanctuary and welcome you to further explore nature at its best.

In the midst of this wilderness lies a bird-watching point that offers a front-row seat to the avian symphony of melodies. An ancient fort stands at a vantage point within the park, its weathered walls bearing witness to the passage of time. It invites you to bask in the golden hues of a Rajasthani sunset—a breathtaking view that will etch itself upon your memory forever.
