Ranthambore
We begin the safari before dawn, take a leisurely break for lunch, and then head out again in the afternoon. Our expert guides are the best in the business at locating tigers, as well as educating us about them. As for long lenses, a 70 – 200 is an excellent choice. If you are so inclined, up to 400mm can also come in handy. Afternoon we head to another area of the park to photograph our star quarry, the magnificent tigers of Ranthambore. But the reserve is much more than just tigers. It’s rich with a wide range of wildlife. They include leopard, sloth bear, sambar, chinkara gazelle, jackal, hyena, langur monkey, and wild boar. In addition, there are more than 300 species of birds and myriad other critters. We will all have outside seats in our private jeeps, with unobstructed views. We will also shoot on foot as suitable opportunities arise. One of the many great things about Ranthambore is that the tigers have grown accustomed to the benign human presence and are not shy of the jeeps.
