It is truly amazing how groomed and flawless a tiger’s coat of fur is.  Even when the tiger has been rolling in mud or has been enjoying a swim in one of the numerous waterbodies, in the jungle, its coat always looks immaculate, clean and spotless without any of its strands of fur being out of place. We unfortunately, do not enjoy the same luxury of maintenance – free hair.  Every time, that I have been on safari, in the open jeeps, I have had to battle with my windswept hair.  They  collect ...

It was our first drive in Kanha national Park in the April of  2012 and our friend Kumar with his apparent “sixth sense” predicted that we would  see a tiger, a sloth bear and a leopard (of course not exactly in that order) on this brief safari and  all of us in the car go “sure thing Nostradamus” (but secretly wished it would happen but we knew the chances were ermmmm “ZILCH”… Anyhow, Kumar was convinced his prediction would come true for which I (Shaurya) even offered to change my name if ...

There are days on a safari which are exasperating and then there are some days which are extremely exhilarating, but we never knew you could feel both those emotions in one safari. The whole idea of a safari is the chase of finding different animals. When the animal in question is a tiger, looking for it makes the search even more exciting.
