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 Tiger Safari 2013: Day 1

Day 1 – always exciting!  We started off this amazing safari with a good look at the rest of the players in the tiger reserve.  Loads of spotted deer, barking deer and indian gaur, or indian bison, filled the cameras’ viewfinders, as well as the brilliant and ever-present langur monkeys.  As for the tigers themselves, the best we managed was a fresh set of tracks for a female, heading to a nearby waterhole.  We were confident she was in the area but she didn’t show herself – this only brews excitement, as the hope of seeing a tiger increases!

Major sightings of the day:

  • Spotted deer
  • Barking deer
  • Langur monkeys
  • Indian gaur
  • A variety of birds, including peafowl
