After the amazing sighting of the Lion pride during one of our safaris at the Mara, we moved on in search of other fauna. We stopped to look at this Common Elan keeping a watch on our moves. As we got closer, it scuttled away and Emmanuel our driver and naturalist pointed out that Elans […]

A Day in Kabini
On this evening safari in Kabini, we had a lucky sighting of a Bengal Tiger. We first spotted the Tiger sitting in the open near a culvert on the old MM road. As soon as the Tiger realized he was spotted, before we could get our first pictures, he quickly took cover in the thick […]
Crested Serpent Eagle with a Serpent kill in Ranthambore
As we started this particular afternoon safari, the thought that crossed my mind was that after the spectacular sighting of the Tigress with cubs the previous evening, what more could I sight in Ranthambore? As we entered the park, we spotted a pair of Collared Scops-Owl roosting in a tree hollow. A little further, a […]
African Lion pride in Maasai Mara

Crested Hawk Eagle in Pench

It was peak summer in Central India; the temperatures were soaring and hovering in the mid 40s (centigrade) when we started our first afternoon […]
Collared Scops Owls in Pench

During our visit there, we stayed at Taj Bhagvan, a lovely property on the fringes of the national park. During our safari, we had evinced interest in sighting not just the Tiger, but also […]
Kingfishers of Amboseli National Park
Amboseli National Park is a birding heaven given its fair share of swamps, streams and other water bodies. And we also realized that it is one of the best places in Kenya to photograph Kingfishers especially the most beautiful of them all, the Malachite Kingfisher. We spotted the Malachite Kingfisher at a couple of locations […]
