Tiger Paradise

Day 1: Check-in and afternoon safari, overnight in Tadoba.

Following your arrival and a scrumptious lunch on, a round of mutual introduction will ensue, after which your Skipper will brief the group on the natural history features and tourist rules of the park and set the tone for the Tour.

Then it’s time for the much-awaited first safari, during which we acquaint ourselves with the topographical features of Tadoba. A dash of beginner’s luck can yield the coveted sight of a tiger early on the trip, kicking the event off to a rollicking start, but even if feline fortune doesn’t shine through yet, the beauty all around is bound to enthrall us with plenty of time remaining on the Tour to see and photograph the principal object of our pursuit.

After our maiden foray into the forest, we return to camp, where the Tour’s first interactive photography session will ensue. These unique Toehold sessions, which are highly fruitful and great fun, are reported by earlier participants to be as enjoyable as the safaris themselves and are likely to entertain as much as educate you.

Having spent a noteworthy day replete with exploration, photography and frolic, we enjoy a scrumptious supper before hitting the sack for the night with dreams of what lies ahead.

Days 2: Full day safari and overnight in Tadoba

Come early morning and it’s time for the much-awaited first full day safari, during which we acquaint ourselves with the topographical features of the park. A dash of beginner’s luck can yield the coveted sight of a tiger early on the trip, kicking the event off to a rollicking start, but even if feline fortune doesn’t shine through, the beauty of the forest is bound to enthrall us with plenty of time remaining on the Tour to see and photograph the principal object of our pursuit.

Following our maiden foray on this entire day, we return to camp, where the Tour’s first interactive photography session will ensue. These unique Toehold sessions, which are highly fruitful and great fun, are reported by earlier participants to be as enjoyable as the safaris themselves and are likely to entertain as much as educate you.

Day 3: Morning and afternoon safari, overnight in Tadoba.

After an early morning wake-up call, we head to the park gate at the earliest possible hour, aiming to be the first to enter when it opens. This gives us the advantage of spotting fresh pugmarks and other signs of tiger movement, enabling us to track the big cats.

During the safari, we focus not only on searching for and photographing tigers but also on observing and capturing images of the many other fascinating inhabitants of this precious ecosystem. After the morning safari, we transfer to another gate of Tadoba.

Lunch will be followed by the second safari. Afternoons are great for bird-watching, and while we wait for tigers to start moving, we have a great time photographing some of the winged attractions of Tadoba.

Meanwhile your Skipper will constantly monitor the situation and strategise with the guide and the driver to maximise tiger sighting opportunities all the same.

Before enjoying a scrumptious supper and retiring for the night, we are educated and entertained through a photography session facilitated by the Skipper.

Day 4: Full Day safari and overnight in Tadoba.

The much-anticipated full-day safari in Tadoba promises a deep dive into its captivating wilderness. As dawn breaks, we embark on an early morning adventure, exploring the park’s diverse landscapes and tracking fresh signs of wildlife movement. With ample opportunities to spot and photograph tigers and other iconic species, the day unfolds with thrilling encounters. A midday break allows for a packed lunch amidst nature, before resuming the safari in the afternoon, where waterholes become prime spots for wildlife activity. As golden hour descends, the forest comes alive with enchanting sights, setting the perfect stage for memorable captures. After a fulfilling day, we return to camp for a delicious dinner and well-earned rest.

Day 5: Final safari and dispersal

We venture into the park for one final throw of the dice in the way of a morning safari. Upon our return, having completed a fruitful stint in the Tiger Temple, we depart Tadoba after breakfast for our abodes with a myriad of pictures and memories.
