On this first safari in Tadoba National Park, we realised that the monsoon was setting in and we were in for the occasional light drizzle. We were around the territory of a popular Tigress with two fully grown cubs, known to give spectacular sightings and were on the lookout for her. That is when we […]

Leopard with an Impala kill in Maasai Mara
We were captivated by the sight of this Leopard with the Impala kill and we took our time to soak in the experience. When we circled for a different view, we noticed the huge size of the Impala. The immense strength of this Leopard to have hauled this huge Impala up this tall tree was […]
Malabar Pied Hornbills in Kabini
We have often heard the vociferous Malabar Pied Hornbills in many national parks in India and then followed their noisy calls to spot them. However, Pied Hornbills are very shy birds and rarely sit quietly, especially on lower branches, making it a big challenge to photograph this species. On this trip to Kabini, all that […]
The Fearless Tiger Cub in Ranthambore
The Tiger prince who we sighted in Ranthambore put up a fabulous show for us. He simply wasn’t bothered by the hoard of tourists in the multitude of parked vehicles enjoying the sighting. His siesta was soon to be interrupted by an irritant Crow …

The Brown Fish Owl, featured above, was another price catch of the afternoon safari, later that day. While waiting at the camp for the jeep, […]
Charging Elephant in Kabini
On this trip to Kabini, we were greeted with showers, given that it was the monsoon season. The great thing about monsoon is that the forest is transformed and the color saturation is at a new high. As we entered the park, we saw a huge tusker standing beside a tree. The moment the Tusker […]

A Tiger prince makes an appearance in Ranthambore
During one of our safaris in Ranthambore National Park, we went around an area, where a Tiger was spotted the previous day. But today, we saw a handsome Sambar Deer stag standing at the exact spot where the Tiger was seen. After taking a couple of pictures of the Sambar, we headed towards the small […]
