The Tiger Safari 2013: Day 3

We picked up exactly where we left off on day 2, with an amazing sighting of a female tiger in a new section of the reserve.  We spent an hour with her, as she marked her territory and casually walked alongside our vehicle.  The highlight of the sighting was when she approached an old tree which had fallen down – she framed herself perfectly beneath the tree allowing us to take some lovely images, and then jumped up and started scent marking the tree with her face!  Absolutely brilliant.

Major sightings of the day:

  • Tigress
  • Indian gaur
  • Spotted deer
  • Wild boar
  • Samba deer
  • Peafowl
  • Many different bird species
