More than a pug mark spotted...

Day 6.

May 18, 2012



Week 1




Baby Lengur, head the size of a golf ball! so cute!
An exciting morning, tracking a mother Tiger through her territory. Unfortunately though we missed her by moments at both the watering hole and the place where she had recently made a kill. This Tigress had just given birth to 3 cubs, five days previous.


This is Oliver, the Main Guide's son, also a very knowledgeable guide and good friend.






Me, photographing the monkeys.

Washing the resident elephant Pawan Kali.


The afternoon safari was our 4th, so I knew it was time for me to get luck and spot a TIGER! and we did! Racing out to Zone three, we approached a group of cars stopped by a waterhole. By now optimism had dropped and I suggested that since they were watching us drive in, that perhaps the tiger wasn't there. But alas he was! Big T24. He has killed two people, unprovoked!




Lethargic after a meal, he sat in the water for about 40mins, while we were there.

Oliver took some pictures of me, photographing the Tiger.

We followed him across the plains and watched him disappear towards his cave.
Getting some great shots as T24 passed.
