As a budget backpacker planning a tiger safari, the main difference for me is access: a national park's core zone is often strictly off-limits, while a wildlife sanctuary might allow some grazing or collection, and a biosphere reserve has a huge buffer where villagers live. But the obvious answer about strictness? I disagree—sometimes, a sanctuary's rules are *zabardast* strict too, depending on the state! I learned this last year when my cheap safari in a sanctuary was cancelled last minute because of new restrictions, while nearby national park safaris were running smoothly. It taught me to call the forest guard's office directly, not just trust the website.
