As close to tigers as you will get!!!!!
Located in the Madhya Pradesh state of India, this national park did not disappoint one bit! In three different safaris, I was able to spot the elusive tigers on all three. Some came within meters of the safari gypsy (jeep), while others just layed out in the fields or in the forest areas not wanting to be photographed.
It is interesting to note how you track the tigers. Most of them follow a certain path every day and you look for their prints on the dirt road as they prefer to walk on the road and then go up into the forest. Using our guides and drivers we were able to track them and follow them over a great distance.
These animals are extremely difficult to photograph as they are in plain site always on the move, while when they sit they are usually far off and under a shade tree to keep out of the sun.
Bathing Indian Vulture
I have always been fascinated with vultures and I happened to get a great set of photos from an Indian Vulture that I followed from sitting on the ground to taking a bath and drinking water. Its always helpful when the sun is out in a perfect direction!!!
Other animals I had the opportunity to see in this lovely national park include: Sambar Deer, Peacock, Spotted Deer, Collared Scops Owl, Lesser Adjutant Stork, Indian Blue Jay, Langur, Black Brongo, Parakeet, Kingfisher. Spoted Olet, Indian Vulture, Grey Hunting Vulture, Red Water Lapwing, Indian Gaur, Blue Bull, Indian Jungle Fowl, and Jungle Bush Coy.
