Ultimate Booking Guide to Aman-i-Khas
Ultimate Booking Guide to Aman-i-Khas
Why Aman-i-Khas Is One of the Most Exclusive Safari Resorts in India
Aman-i-Khasis not a typical luxury hotel — it is one of the most exclusive wildlife safari camps in the world. Located on the edge of Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan, India, the property combines Aman’s minimalist luxury philosophy with a true wilderness experience. With only 10 luxury tents, this is an ultra-private, highly personalized experience designed for travelers who want something far beyond a traditional resort stay.
Unlike African safari lodges that often have dozens of rooms, Aman-i-Khas maintains a very small footprint, allowing for privacy, personalized service, and exceptional wildlife experiences, including tiger safaris, birdwatching, and guided cultural excursions.
The camp operates seasonally from October through April, which is the best time for wildlife viewing and comfortable weather in Rajasthan.

About Aman-i-Khas: Luxury Tented Safari Experience
A Wilderness Camp Inspired by Mughal Hunting Lodges
The name Aman-i-Khás combines:
Aman = Peace (Sanskrit)
Khás = Special (Urdu/Hindi)
The resort is designed as a luxury Mughal-style tented camp, inspired by the royal hunting expeditions of the Mughal emperors. Each tent sits on a concrete plinth and measures approximately 108 square meters, making them much larger than most safari tents.
Each tent includes:
Bedroom area
Separate dressing area
Large bathroom
Living space with oversized daybed
Outdoor screened sitting and dining area
Butler service
Air conditioning
Complimentary coffee and tea
The interiors are minimalist yet elegant, with cotton draped ceilings, canvas walls, and neutral tones that blend into the surrounding wilderness.
Safari Experience at Ranthambore National Park
Tiger Safaris and Wildlife Experiences

Wildlife you may see:
Bengal tigers
Leopards
Sloth bears
Hyenas
Marsh crocodiles
Deer species
Over 350 species of birds
Safaris are typically done in:
