India Tiger Safari
This was my 8th trip with Exodus, the others having been between 2000 & 2012). I enjoy the format and Exodus has normally suited me (with one exception in 2002)
India Tiger Safari
The trip was recommended to me by someone who’d done it. I really wanted to see a tiger & this gave me the most game drives across 3 parks – optimising my chances

Seeing tigers!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Krishna was passionate about India, it's people & wildlife & this really shone through. He went out of his way to be helpful & make sure we had a good experience e.g. organising an extra game drive for us & organising a celebration of Holi festival for us.

Seeing the tiger in all the parks. Sometimes it was only a glimpse of one. Learning about the jungle and being in it was quite an experience.

Definitely getting up close with tigers was an overriding highlight. The Taj Mahal was amazing. The train was a real eye opener and immersed us in the Indian culture! The food was amazing too!!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Krishna was a stand out guide. His enthusiasm for the trip was second to none. Always there to share his knowledge of wildlife, Indian culture and so much more. Always kept us informed of the following day's activities. A truly passionate and inspiring guide.
India Tiger Safari
Well organised trip with an excellent guide. Viewing tigers is very exciting.
Most Inspirational Moment
The first tiger sighting. Several other tiger sightings. The Taj Mahal would have been a highlight but I have seen it before on a previous trip.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Krishna has many years of experience with this trip. He often knew more than the local guides on how to locate a tiger. He imparted information about India with great enthusiasm and humour. He has a great sense of humour and socialised well with the group
Amazing Tiger sightings
We had a truly wonderful trip. The national parks were lovely with beautiful views. We were really lucky and had some wonderful tiger sightings as well as sloth bears & leopards & wild elephants. A large array of birds from different species of Eagles, Kingfishers, Owls and many more. We didn’t see tigers on every safari & sometimes would have different sightings to our other travel companions. In the last park we didn’t see a tiger until our last safari then we had 3 amazing close displays from them. The accomodation at the last lodge was by far the nicest. The drivers & guides on the safaris could really vary in English ability & knowledge. Obviously it was alot better when you had a good guide. The overnight train was interesting & we enjoyed it. The facilities were better than expected with western toilets. We took a dinner pack up from our hotel & bought drinks & snacks before getting on. Although there was some long travel days they didn’t feel ling. There was plenty of stops and things to see. Travel between was in comfortable Aircon suvs. If you want to see some amazing wildlife but also want abit of culture this trip is for you.

The tiger scratching the tree by our jeep or the sloth bear digging for food. Or maybe the elephant charging us & speeding away
Thoughts on Group Leader
Krishna was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and looked after everything for us. He would rotate between the heating safari vehicles each trip & we were always happy when he was in ours as he was a lucky charm. Krishna became part of our group & a friend.
Advice for Potential Travellers
It's not Africa so don't expect to see the constant abundance of wildlife you did there. Go on each safari with an open mind & just enjoy the scenery & any animals you do spot, remember it's wild so if you spot a tiger, bear, leopard it's a big bonus! Take bite sprays we did get bite at the lodges in the evenings. The food was amazing. Breakfasts on safaris plentiful so we didn't need to buy lunches. Although limited can be abit hit and miss we could pay our bills by card at the lodges.

Encountering a male tiger close up
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent, efficient and amusing throughout
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for cold starts so layer up although blankets are provided. Worth doing additional games drives on Wednesday afternoons when Parks are closed. Good guides and drivers who speak good English are at a premium so ask to keep good ones.
