With no luck in spotting a Tiger in Pench, we shifted base to the Tadoba National Park. Soon we were deep inside the park waiting at a waterhole for the popular Tigress, known as Maya. All possible parking spot was taken at the waterhole. It was as though every...

Riding on the incredible luck we had in the morning with Choti Tara and her cubs, where the cubs gave a great example of stalking prey, we drove deeper into Tadoba National Park. We had a single point agenda for the rest of the drive; to try and spot Maya, the oldest...

As my safari vehicle drove into Tadoba National Park for one last time on this trip, I couldn’t help but replay in my mind, all the fantastic sightings that Matt and I had been blessed with, over the days that we had been here. Matt’s first Tiger...

As the late morning sun got hotter, the Tigress mom, Choti Tara led her cubs into the shaded undergrowth farther away from us and soon disappeared. As we prepared to move to a different area of the Tadoba National Park, this handsome Spotted Deer Stag emerged from the...

Watching Choti Tara, one of the much sought after Tigress in Tadoba National Park, play with her cubs would have brought tears of joys to any die hard wildlife enthusiast. Soon it reached a point where the Tigress could not be at the receiving end of her sons teeth...
