Youve made me quite envious. This was in a vehicle or an on foot encounter? Gotta give more details for us who will probably never get to see a wild tiger. Very very cool.
So yeah, today’s Safari was in a Jeep. We are in a different state of India now and the law here is you MUST be in a vehicle. So we saw two tigers at two different times and areas. Apparently they are two year old brother and sister, Just about to separate and head out in their own. The first one walked from a ways back to maybe 20 yards down the side of our open air Jeep and crossed the little dirt track right in front of us. I was like this is amazing and all I could hear my wife saying was, “too close, TOO close, TOO CLOSE”! He was roaring every now and again apparently trying to locate his sister. Later in the day we found the sister and then they were both walking around together. So crazy to see them in the wild! We saw tons and tons of other animals too. Sambar deer, Axis deer so thick you could walk across them, alligators, monkeys all over and tons of crazy birds, including owls even. One of the most memorable days of my life for sure! We’ve experienced a lot of amazing things here in India the last 3 weeks and with three to go, this will be THE highlight of the trip for me!
