Tigers of India
Journey into the wild heart of India on an intimate nine-day photographic safari through Bandhavgarh and Kanha National Parks. Hosted by specialist photographic guide Marlon du Toit alongside an experienced local naturalist and photographer, this small-group expedition is limited to just six guests.
Spend three full days exploring Bandhavgarh, renowned for its high density of Bengal tigers, before continuing to the sweeping meadows and sal forests of Kanha for a further three full-day safaris. While tigers are the principal focus, the parks are also home to leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, gaur, barasingha, sambar, chital and abundant birdlife.
Stay at Pugdundee’s Kings Lodge and Kanha Earth Lodge, both offering an authentic connection to their natural surroundings. With only two guests per safari vehicle, generous space for photographic equipment and expert guidance throughout, every element is designed to maximise time in the field and create exceptional photographic opportunities.
