Add your own reviewIndia Photographic Trip departing 1st May to Bandhavgarh
Another amazing tiger trip – this was my 6th tiger trip with Exodus (5th with Paul) – and they just keep getting better and better. We had some quality sightings and some unusual behaviours seen – like a mock-charge and a territorial battle between 2 males – which I had not seen before. The 2 full days in the Park were great and a plus, though it was hot (and we did have a big thunderstorm too – unusual for this time of year!). I love Bandhavgarh, the Lodge is lovely and I also enjoy meeting up with the people I now know as friends there.
Most Inspirational Moment
Watching the territorial battle from it's start - when we didn't even realise what was going to happen and to watch it reach the climax was special
Thoughts on Group Leader
Paul is great - he give 110% all the time - I've been travelling with him now since 2008 and his passion, energy and enthusiasm hasn't dimmed, though he might have mellowed just a bit :-) . A mention too for Himanshu Bagde - he works so well, keeping things going in the background!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for the very hot weather - drink loads of water, take rehydration tablets with you and use them. Enjoy every moment
A dedicated photographic trip for tigers and other wildlife.
A dedicated photographic trip to India to photograph tigers in the Bandhavgarh National Park.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing my first wild tiger and then to see them on ever drive. Exceptional sightings in a variety of situations. A least three sets of cubs not shy to entertain the followers. April/May is the hot season 45c and the watering holes attract tigers and other animals and birds. Hang around and sooner or later things will usually happen. We were entertained on a daily basis by three brothers play fighting in and around the water. I do not now of another person who has witnessed so much tiger activity. November is the popular time to go, but if you can cope with the heat, April/May is the better time to go.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Trips like the one we were on do not just happen. You need to make your own luck and most is down to the leader. In this case Paul Goldstein works tirelessly in order to get the best vantage point. His manner will not suit everyone but anyone who runs the London marathon in a tiger suit deserves special treatment and recognition. Thats why he has a regular and dedicated group of followers. Exodus has a wonderful local India leader in Heemanshu. A quietly spoken but very knowledgeable person that commands the respect of all the local staff.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Travel with Exodus on dedicated photographic trips, if you want the best opportunities to get your images. Wildlife photography is not easy and is unpredictable. You need to put the time in and make every effort to increase your chances of being successful. Also the group must get on and I have never been part of a bad group with Exodus
Suggestions
Another major experience and I cannot wait till the next one.
