Natural Focus General Manager Anne-Marie Zambelli was recently in India’s Corbett National Park, where as he witnessed this memorable tiger sighting.

“We encountered three gorgeous six-month-old tiger cubs that entertained us for half an hour as they played in and around a thickly forested waterhole. Surprisingly, the siblings were very relaxed and rather curious; we suspected their mother was off hunting and no doubt would return before dark. This was simply wildlife viewing at its best….and I was privileged to be part of it”.

If you enjoy wildlife and have ever wanted to see a tiger in the wild, join Annie on our annual Taj Temples & Tigers Tour in February 2025. This 18-day trip visits 3 of India’s national parks for tiger viewing and includes 11 guided tiger safaris in Bandhavgarh, Ranthambore and Kanha.

Company founders Steve & Sara Cameron have just spent a week cruising the beautiful Canal Du Midi in Southern France. This is what they had to say:
“Cruising onboard a hotel barge in this area was everything we had hoped for. With just 8 guests and 5 crew, it was both luxurious and informal. The meals created by the onboard chef were exceptional, while our tour of the walled city of Carcassonne was superb. Throughout the week we enjoyed daily excursions to small villages, artisans and even went on a truffle hunt. We relaxed on deck as the pilot navigated the canal, and also walked and cycled along the tow path. There can’t be many better way to experience rural France!”

Yesterday was as well as ! African Wild Dogs (also known as Cape hunting dogs and painted wolves) are an exciting species to see when out on safari. There is never a dull moment when you come across these animals, who are always on the move. The best places to see these dogs is in Southern African countries including Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia.

10/08/2022

Happy !Perhaps the most iconic African species, lions are powerful and majestic animals, and an absolute privilege to see when out on safari. When sitting a few metres from a pride or a big male, you can feel a sense of awe, and your body tingles - particularly if they let out an almighty roar!

It is vital to mention however that these beautiful cats, like many other species, are facing greater challenges that ever before. These challenges include human-wildlife conflict, habitat loss, climate change and wildlife trade. Sadly, as a result, there are fewer than 23,000 individuals left in the wild.

So, as much as today is a day to celebrate lions, it is also a day to point out the challenges they face, and the need to continually help and support conservation efforts.

29/07/2022

Today we celebrate ! Celebrating one of the world’s most iconic species. Synonymous with India, tigers have also been seen across 13 countries, including Nepal, China and Bhutan.

The species are currently listed as endangered, but with increased conservation efforts, it is thought that their numbers are once again on the rise. Natural Focus has organised a small group tour to India to see these magnificent cats, departing in February 2023. For further information, click the link in our bio!
