In my 12 years of wildlife safaris to many tiger reserves, I had seen wild dogs, wild dogs eating a deer, Have seen tigers eating deer, but not a hunt , killing prey and then eating. Only once I had seen a leopard in Kabini hunt and kill a langur.

The safari was silent as we did not have any alarm calls or any movement of tigers or leopards, we were just ambling across the forest tracks to a point which was the end of the path and we had to turn back. Once we turned back, there were 4 wild dogs walking towards us and we were happy that we did sight some wildlife in the forest and in about 4 and half minutes, there was the time when we were emotional , excited . Emotional because we saw the wild dogs chasing and hunting a deer fawn, eating it while it was alive, it passed away within a minute with a lot of pain. Excited we were as we had not seen a live hunt.

When the other vehicles started arriving at the scene, there was no trace of the deer carcass as the wild dogs had finished and there were 3 small pups who were competing for the head of the deer as a trophy and they all vanished inside the bushes.

One more pic from the beautiful evening we had on a full day safari.

The male is a very calm and composed guy who is bothered about his job only and not anything else.

The undisputed king of the buffers and a part of the core.

May his genes spread in a big way and many litters from him.

The bee's and the striped beauty on a very very hot afternoon.

They were not bothered about anyone :)

On a day when we were the last vehicle to enter the forest due to some reason, lucky we were as no vehicle had passed through this road and one of our participant CA Lakshman had an eagle eye when he sighted this beauty taking rest on the side of the road. We were the only vehicle for 20 minutes and the other vehicles started to come via the road. We were luck enough to have a private audience with the beauty and we left her and went.

We did sight her again as she had moved through her territory and good pictures were captured by all.

Nayantara - the beauty with blue eyes !!! hope she may settle down a bit far from her mothers territory as he dad is the one who is ruling the part . Let the genes of the dominant male CM get spread far from the buffers of Tadoba.

On a full day safari, you have an advantage of being alone for a good part of the day, a early entry and a late exit.
The late exit did give us the time alone with this guy and he is a calm and composed tiger. He walked for almost 3 kms and though the light was going down as the sun had set already, the feeling we had was amazing. Exited the forest with all of us having smiles which refused to go away till we slept.

Bhanu !!!

Gave a grand and long darshan to our group. We had a private audience for a long time as well.

Hope she is well and takes care of herself and gives many more litters to boost the population of Tadoba .

The tour of Pilibhit started when I had seen lots of iconic images of the massive males walking headon and with no vehicles in the background.
Though we did get some tigers in almost all safaris of the tour, some memorable moments like this will remain forever.
Though there have been some unforgettable moments in the safari as well. But memorable moments do overwrite the bad moments.

A morning drive was pleasant for an hour , but we started getting restless as there was no sighting of the striped beauty. But thanks to our driver and naturalist, who spotted some vehicles moving together and guessed that there is a tiger there. We were lucky as all vehicles were without cameras and gave space to us to photograph this beauty.

A serene patch of the forest this is. Almost evergreen through the year. Kolsa core zone.

A barking deer crossed the tracks as we were waiting for a tigress to come out as the entire stretch visible and beyond was the route the tigress had walked and had crossed into the bushes where the barking deer came out. Surprising that neither did see the tiger but the tiger may have seen us :)

Waiting for the rains to come so that the beautiful colours will be seen !!!

From June 2023 till May 2024 the growth of the cubs has been incredible and the way Weera has taken care of them is to be saluted.

It is a very hard work of a mom to bring up the cubs, but since Xylo is a monster and is not allowing any other male to come in this territory, the cubs are very safe.

Xylo, as he came headon after we were after his pugmarks for a long time. Happy faces were the after effects of this sightings and still they do remember this as he is not a small guy, just like his dad, he is also becoming a legend in Tadoba. he is expanding his territory vastly.

Choti Rani !!!

A female who is very calm and composed sighting the vehicles lining up to see her. There are many tigress which are the attractions of each zones and she is the one who attracts tourists to the Sirkheda zone.

One cub of her litter survived , but another sub adult from nowhere has come and is staying with her other cub as well. She and V7 are very tolerant of the sub adult male and this shows that humans are the ones who do not tolerate strangers in their territory :P

A dream still is to be fulfiled to see the male V7 and the sub adult.
It will materialize soon i suppose :)

An unexpected sighting of the ghost of the jungle when the king of the jungle was moving around.

A lone vehicle was standing at this waterhole and he just raised his hand for us to come and stand beside him so that all of us could enjoy the presence of this beauty .

This was my second quickest sighting after entering the forest on a safari. Within One and half minutes , we sighted the mom and her two cubs sleeping on the road, next to a small puddle of water on the road, created by the rains a couple of days ago.

The image was clicked at 5.26 AM, as the light started appearing to brighten the sky and our sighting also :)

The mom was sleeping peacefully till her daughter came and woke her up. She was still sleepy but started yawning and did make a move to go inside and sleep for the rest of the day as it was summer and the Sun god relentlessly stares upon all of the earths beings, to ensure that they would save trees and the water bodies so that they all would survive the summer heat.

Shot with my trusted and travel companion , Nikon 300 mm F4 lens who has been with me to all the safaris I have been doing from 2012. He is one we can trust blindly.

Hope to see him often as he was earlier !!!

What a feeling it is when he nonchalantly walks towards you and only thing you wish is that there are no other vehicles around. :)

A feeling you get when the tiger walks towards your vehicle is to be felt in person on safari.

We were the last to reach this spot and were feeling that we had missed out sighting him, but he was sitting inside the bushes and was sighted by a vehicle who were ambling on the road .

We waited and he did grace us by his walk which was a sight to behold. I have seen only 2 or 3 males which have given such walks in front of the vehicles in my 13 years of travelling to various tiger reserves across India.

A rare pic of mine of a tiger from the forests of South India.
I dont visit these parts often.
Whenever I have visited, the disappointment is more that the excitement. ( reasons unknown)

The last safari of the tour and we see the tiger where we had wished to see. But not going away from us, but we always love when the tiger walks towards you :)

Not a problem at all for us, we were lucky to see the Barahi male in the track, he was on his duty marking his territory.

Happy that such landscape photos are taken by my 300 mm F4 lens :)

A gentle but huge beast !!!

not worried about the vehicles and also the noise of the people.
He was calm and composed during his patroling in the territory which is shared by almost 3-4 males and only recently there was a fight in which this guy was injured. Otherwise there has been no fight in a long time.

We did see this guy resting in the kacchi patri and there was a mating pair which was on the pakki patri only separated by a canal. He was not bothered and did make us wait for almost 3 hours and did not give a appearance on the road :) Such things happen though to us .

An image clicked around 6.45 pm
The tiger was doing lots of investigations without any equipment's.
God has given all blessings to the wild animals, unlike humans who are dependent on all equipment.

We were on a full day safari and hence we did get time to enjoy the tigers activity exclusively.

Exclusive means we were the only vehicle around and no disturbance and chaos from the other vehicles.

A Very Very low light image !!!
details saved to a extent by the Nikon 300 F4 lens, a travel companion who has been with me almost 13 years and is a trusted equipment.
wanted to sell him but the offer I got from a buyer, I refused and decided that i will never sell the 300 F4. A very wise decision :)

We were on a full day safari and we almost spent 12 hours with this guy who was enjoying his sleep in a small private pool of water and shade, while we were getting roasted by the sun regularly.
Never mind , we were enjoying the time spent with a tiger in our sight , which is not possible for every visitor who comes to the jungles .

Kaadu Safari plans and executes the safari tour with perfection. This is what all the participants express once the tour is complete and are regular participants .

The Ghost of the Jungle . They seldom give opportunities for photographs as they are very aware that the stripes are always moving around and do not let these guys get the prey. But they are survivors and are doing well.

After a long rest, the king decided to grace the track with his presence, the visiting people did heave a sigh of relief as it was blistering hot and everyone forgot about the heat once they spotted the striped beauty.

A dream come true !! We had been hearing all sorts of things from travellers, Guides and drivers that they were getting leisurely headons from S3 , the calm and composed guy .

We had seen him sleep for three and half hours of the safari time and we got a glimpse of him lifting his head and seeing the tourists going back out of the forest.

On one of the safaris, within 5 minutes, we got him ambling on the kachi patri in front of the early gypsies and did sit on the road and take a breather thinking about the day ahead of him.

Then he did cross over the canal and go to the pakki patri ,We did go there, he had vanished into the bushes by the time we did reach there.

We did wait for sometime here and there and alas he did not disappoint us by showing himself in front of us.
We did have a fantastic time and a memory of a lifetime . He is a huge guy and weighs almost 300 kilos in my opinion. A beautiful beast and maybe the biggest guy I have ever seen in my 14 years of photographing the striped wonders :)
* a small distraction has been cloned out :)
Anyone interested to see these beauties can contact Kaadu Safari for your memorable tours.
