On one of our morning game drives into Amboseli National Park, we spotted this African Elephant mom and calf at a distance, by the side of the tracks. The mother had her back to us while she shielded her calf. We were keen to get a clearer view of the Elephant calf and moved closer […]

Mother and cubs at play in Tadoba
The Tigress popularly known as Choti Tara,who we talked about in our last post on Tadoba National Park, led her cubs off the tracks into the grasslands adjacent to the tracks. Our driver almost immediately realised that we might be in for a spectacle and he drove ahead and positioned the jeep at a perfect […]
Pied Kingfisher in Amboseli National Park
After the hair-raising close encounter with the African Elephant, this game drive through Amboseli National Park quickly turned into a amazing birding safari. We saw a Hadeda Ibis (below) not far away from the road. But the highlight of this post is the Pied Kingfisher (below). We will talk about it a little later in […]

Tiger cubs suckling in wild Tadoba

One of the cubs walked over to Choti Tara and we watched her shower her affection on him. After a few moments of affection, the […]
Closest African Elephant sighting in Amboseli National Park

Choti Tara (Tigress) with cubs in Tadoba
As we started on our last safari of this trip to Tadoba, I was just playing back the last couple of days in my mind. Matt had come all the way from Charlotte to Tadoba to realise his childhood dream of seeing “a” Tiger in the wild. We were over the moon since we had […]
