Tigers of India Safari Tour

Tigers Of India Safari and Tour

With Sri Lanka Wildlife Add On

Join us on this life changing trip, photograph the tigers of India. I can not express the excitement of seeing a tiger in the wild. We will be staying in some of the best safari lodges and Hotels in India, visiting the top tiger nature reserves in the world. Many other species are also encountered. Join us on this exciting and life changing experience.

The funny thing about Tigers. With only approximately three thousand remaining in the wild, they are a species that creates an experience like no other. I find them almost addicting. No matter how much I have learned over the last several years, the challenge never ends. Trying to select the best places, learning of the movements and the cubs, and the areas under the stress of a new male taking over. Finding the best guides and trying to place all the lessons I learned in wildlife and guiding collage into play.

It seems that in each and every year of pursuing tigers, there are a few great images, a lot of searching, and days of extreme happiness and other days where we hope for a more productive tomorrow.

Indeed there is finding tigers, and there is finding tigers that are in great locations to photograph. There are times when the bushes are just too thick and the frustration is overwhelming. There are times when dust covers the air and focus becomes difficult. There are times when you just have to put down the camera and enjoy the activity, with no clear area to photograph.

However, when it all comes together, when eye contact is made, when a tiger walks towards your point of view, when two or more tigers interact and your shutter sings, when nature has given you the true gift of a wonderful tiger image. This is when you know that giving up is never an option, that the Tiger is a species that draws you in and fills your soul with goosebumps and pure adrenalin.

Indeed Great tiger images dont come easy, but they are so easy on your mind, so pure, so fulfilling,, so absolutely wonderful.

As long as I can do it, I will. Its just too important and to amazing to give up this journey, this adventure, this part of life that speaks of truly being alive.
