The Tiger Safari 2014: Day 6

The last day of this amazing safari didn’t disappoint and it gave us one last tiger to photograph.  A large male tiger with a particularly noticeable mane was lying a short distance away from us, before he slowly got up and sauntered off along the river and out of sight. Another real highlight was spotting 3 different brown fish owls (a cousin of the Blackison’s fish owl in Japan).

Overall, we had 11 tiger sightings in 12 safaris, and we also saw a leopard, golden jackal, several species of mammal and close to 80 species of birds.  This was a fantastic safari, which left our guests with incredible photographs.  Bring on the Tiger Safari 2015!

Major sightings of the day:

  • Male tiger
  • 3 Brown fish owls
  • Spotted deer
  • Sambar deer
  • Indian macaque
  • Many different species of birds

The Tiger Safari 2014: Day 5

Easily the best day we have ever had on the Tiger Safari!  We spent the entire morning and the afternoon safaris with large male tigers.  We found 2 male tigers in the morning, and 1 male tiger in the afternoon who put on a magic show for us.  He was stalking deer, sitting in a waterhole and walking directly towards us, giving us amazing photo opportunities!

Major sightings of the day:

  • 3 sightings of large male tigers
  • Sambar deer
  • Spotted deer
  • Langur monkeys

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
