Wildlife Photography tours in India

If you’re a wildlife devotee then a tiger trail has to be your holy grail. In addition, if you’re thirsting tigers then there’s no better place to be in this country other than Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve. Legend holds that Taru was a village chief who died in a mythological encounter with a tiger. Today, the forest gains its name from this mythical, godly chief and visitors from its burgeoning population of tigers.

So why would you visit Tadoba again? Let’s spell it out – this is the best tiger territory in the country. Replete with grasslands, deciduous forests, lakes and evergreen patches, you can find tigers in pretty much every kind of habitat. Don’t get us wrong here; tigers are not the only attraction. Tadoba also happens to be home to a healthy population of Indian Wild Dogs, a.k.a Dholes, Sloth Bear and not to mention, the rather elusive leopards. Amongst the smaller predators, you should keep your fingers crossed for a sighting of the elusive Jungle Cat, the Indian Civet or better still, the Rusty Spotted Cat.

You’ll love Tadoba for its healthy density of herbivores. Spotted Deer and Sambhar Deer dot the lakeside and every now and then be prepared to find Barking Deer or for that matter the rare Chowsingha. The mighty Indian Gaurs make formidable prey for the tigers as well. In addition, the over 250 bird species recorded at the forest keep you on your toes between tiger sightings. Tadoba has a rather healthy population of raptors, so even if you aren’t a birder you should have no dearth of big, photogenic avian subjects.

We’ve planned this photo safari to be rather spartan with accommodation but luxurious when in the forest. To help you make the most of your photo opportunities. Your customized vehicles will have just one row of seating and the middle section will be empty, so you can photograph your subjects at their eye level (at extra cost). Our accommodation while basic, will make for a great place to come back with our daily stories; to share photography tips and tricks; and to enjoy a good night’s sleep. This will be a safari quite like it used to be, back in the good times.
