Why Choose This Indian Safari?
There are many trips to India on the market, but this is especially set up for wildlife photographers who also like to appreciate and photograph the culture of the countries we visit.
Highlights of the safari include
-
Two major wildlife reserves:
Bandhavgarh - here our focus will be on tigers
Kaziranga - last stronghold of the Indian One Horned Rhino -
Each has varied habitats, all of which offer extremely photogenic backdrops
and frequent encounters with these iconic species, plus an abundance of other wildlife, including leopard, elephant and sloth bear.
-
Visit little known nearby reserves to track down birdlife and species which don’t reside in the major parks. These excursions may include scenic boat trips, nocturnal species drive and other bespoke experiences.
-
Private safari jeeps with maximum 3 photographers in each. Max 5 photographers & tutor
-
-
Photograph the legendary Taj Mahal in Agra at sunset and sunrise.
-
Experience and photograph Holi, India's most vibrant festival against the backdrop of India's most iconic destination, Agra.
-
Take an Agra city tour and a boat cruise on the Yamuna River
-
Visit nearby sloth bear & elephant sanctuaries.
-
Why March/April? As well as coinciding with Holi, March/April is an exceptional time of year to visit India's tiger parks: before the great heat of May sets in but late enough for the foliage to have died back for clear visibility and shots. This is also the time that migratory birds swell the local population dramatically. As the month goes on, those willing to brave the heat can be rewarded with tigers clustering close to waterholes and increased possibilities of interactions.
-
Visit rural villages where tribal life hasn’t changed for centuries, and old towns with wonderful history, architecture, temples, forts, craft traditions and markets
-
The safari is fully bonded through Wildlife Trails, a UK based AITO operator specialising in India.
