Day 6.

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.
