If you are a wildlife photographer travelling alone or with a group of students, our experienced team of safari and travel experts will understand your needs and design the tour based on it.
India is a highly diverse land with many different national parks who are unique in their flora and fauna. It is also a home to over 2/3rd population of the world’s tigers, the keystone species of many parks and a diverse as well as interesting fauna. Due to the well managed parks, a healthy population of tigers and some of the best in-house trackers and naturalists, it provides you with an opportunity for some of the best sightings and safari moments that can be captured. See the exclusive leopard while it rests camouflaged on the branches of the tree, or a sloth bear looking for termites and ants. Witness the pack of wild dogs on a hunt as they use whistles and many other forms of communication or a family of gaurs simply near the grasslands going about their day or the glimpse of various resident and migratory birds.

itinerary
detailsCentral India is known as the ‘tiger country’ due to the forests being the stronghold of the mighty Royal Bengal Tiger. All the three parks suggested are well known to provide the highest probability of tiger sighting in the wild.
While tiger is an important keystone specie, Indian wildlife is diverse and these parks gives you an opportunity to sight various other mammals in their glory.
When we think of endangered species, we usually think of megafauna like tigers. However, wild dogs, locally known as Dholes are listed under the IUCN red list of endangered species. ‘ Dhole’ is aptly named as it literally means ‘daring’ or ‘reckless’.
Despite being a member of the canine family, the dholes do not bark instead they have unique methods of communicating like whistling, high pitched screams, chattering and clucking. These communication methods are different for different actions and help them communicate with their pack during hunts and other activities. These dogs often hunt animals much larger than them and start eating them while they are still alive. The alpha male is also known to fight off tigers and leopards as many a times they compete for the same prey. There have been many recorded incidences of them even hunting tigers and leopards in the wild. Watch these fascinating predators in the wild during your trip designed to sight them.
Kaziranga is known for being one of the world’s major stronghold of Indian one-horned rhino. The park’s achievement in saving rhinos from the brink of extinction to housing the single largest population of this species is a spectacular conservation achievement. Similarly while Chitwan is in Nepal, it is a great park to sight these spectacular species.
Tadoba and Kanha Tiger Reserve, fall under the famous Project Tiger, are known to be some of the best managed parks with a healthy tiger population giving opportunity for some spectacular tiger sightings. Both these parks have a diverse flora therefore which provides for some of the most interesting backdrops.
India is known to have a wide variety of avian fauna. With a host of resident and migratory birds, these parks provide some of the best birding opportunities in the country.
