The Tiger Safari 2014: Day 2

This is what it is all about!  Four different tigers, and each one giving us fantastic photo opportunities.  We started off with an adult female tiger who was lying next to her spotted deer kill.  We spent most of the morning with her, photographing her dragging the kill around, and nibbling at it from time to time.  The second tiger, was another large female who we happened upon on the way out. She was moving along one of the big lakes, right out in the open. Fantastic! The afternoon started in much the same way with our first large male tiger of the safari.  He was very relaxed and basically posed for us for a good half hour, before moving off into the bush.  We had just left the park when we found number 4 for the day.  She was crossing the main road just outside the gate, and walked alongside us for a short while.  It is never a bad day when you get to photograph 4 different tigers!

Major sightings of the day:

  • 4 different tiger sightings, 1 female on a spotted deer kill
  • Spotted deer
  • Sambar deer
  • Marsh crocodiles
  • Many different bird species

The Tiger Safari 2014: Day 1

Starting off the safari with 2 tigers is always a good thing!  We found the first female tiger walking along one of the big lakes late on the morning safari, and the second young female tiger early in the afternoon.  She was a little more shy, and stayed a little deeper in the bushes, but as always, we managed to sneak a few photographs in.  The langur monkeys were out and about, as well as the spotted and sambar deers.  Our bird list also got off to a good start with a couple of kingfishers, an osprey and a spotted owlet.

Major sightings of the day:

  • 2 different female tigers
  • Sambar deer
  • Spotted Deer
  • Many different types of birds

The Polar Bear Safari video

One of the most exciting safaris we offer, is the Polar Bear Safari.  This is truly a unique experience, which takes you up into Canada’s tundra region, where we search for the massive bears.  The feeling of seeing a polar bear in the wild is difficult to explain, at best, I can describe it as a real privilege – you feel honoured to be in the presence of such a magnificent animal.  The photographic opportunities are awesome, with several bears converging on the same area at the same time, meaning (1) you have a really good chance at finding the bears, and (2) there is a great chance of photographing the bears interacting at close quarters!

Check out the video below to get a good idea of what goes on during the Polar Bear Safari!

The Classic South African Safari video

Keeping in line with the last few posts, I thought I would post the video of the Classic South African Safari.  There is simply so much to see on this safari; so many different large mammals, small mammals and birds that you cannot leave the safari disappointed – the photographic opportunities are seemingly endless! The most difficult part of the safari is often which animal or which species we should photograph next.  Enough said, have a look at the video to see more of this fantastic safari.

The Tiger Safari 2014

We are just a few short weeks away from the Tiger Safari 2014!  With all the excitement from last years safari still fresh in our memories, I cannot wait to see what these magnificent cats have in store for us this year.  Keep an eye on the blog for our day-to-day updates which as always, will include a selection of images taken on the day.

Have a look at the video from last years safari to give you a good idea of what to expect, and keep in mind that there are not many spaces available of the 2015 safari, so be sure to book early to guarantee your opportunity to see and photograph wild bengal tigers!
