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!

The Tiger Safari 2013: Day 7

The final day of this amazing safari started off with great excitement, as we saw the first of four new mammals for the safari, a leopard walking along the wall of the fort. The other new species of mammal were the Indian gazelle, the rhesus macaque and a golden jackal. We had no luck with the tigers, but did find a fresh tiger kill; an unlucky spotted deer.

Overall we saw 6 different tigers, a sloth bear, leopard, golden jackal, several species of mammals, and over 100 different bird species! I am already counting down the days until The Tiger Safari 2014!

Major sightings of the day:

Leopard
Golden jackal
Nilgai or blue bull
Samba deer
Spotted deer
Langur monkeys
Indian spotted owlet
Many different bird species

The Tiger Safari 2013: Day 6

An absolutely amazing bit of luck saw us face to face to with a (very difficult to find) sloth bear! This fantastic bear was going about its business when it noticed us, and to the extreme joy of the cameras, stood up and had a good look at us. Great shots of the sloth bear were the definite highlight of the day, and a very entertaining hour with a large family of langur monkeys was a close second.

Major sightings of the day:

Sloth bear
Nilgai or blue bull
Spotted deer
Wild boar
Crested serpent eagle
Many species of birds

The Tiger Safari 2013: Day 4

Fresh pug marks (tiger tracks) had our senses tuned in, but to no avail – the tigers did not come out for us today. We did have great sightings of samba deer, which until this point have not been very co-operative. We also saw and photographed close to fifty different bird species, including the fantastic plum headed parakeet. Even without the tigers about there is such diversity in India that the cameras are clicking throughout the day!
