How to book a Luxury Tiger Safari in India?
Choose Tiger reserve:
Start by choosing from some of India’s top tiger reserves. Central India, home to parks like Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Pench, and Panna, is particularly known for its high chances of regular tiger sightings. These parks are often the most rewarding for those seeking frequent encounters with tigers. On the other hand, the eastern parks like Sundarbans and Kaziranga might not offer as many regular sightings, but this unpredictability adds an exciting element to the safari. The Sundarbans, for example, is the only place where you can take a boat cruise to see the elusive and fierce swamp tigers in their unique mangrove habitat. Meanwhile, Kaziranga offers the rare opportunity to spot tigers alongside the endangered one-horned rhinoceros in a stunning flooded grassland environment. Each of these parks has its own distinctive landscape, offering a diverse and unforgettable safari experience. Ranthambore in Rajasthan, on the other hand, offers a tiger safari experience clubbed with the palace exploration.

Which camera lens do you recommend?
It is recommended to have atleast 300mm reach in all the destinations. The 70-300mm lens is reasonably priced in all brands and is a great all-rounder. If possible, a semi-pro level zoom lens like 150-600mm or 200-600mm with an additional 70-200mm will be perfect. For landscape, a 24-70mm will be handy. Keep in mind that the parks in India are dusty and it is recommended to attach separate bodies to two different lenses to avoid changing lens on the field.
