 Tadoba - Tiger Tiger ...

The allure of watching a tiger in the wild is exciting to say the least. Somewhere in Jan 2022, we saw an opportunity to visit Tadoba in April 2022. This was an all office gang and the idea was mooted by some of our colleagues from the testing team - Nitin Tambe and Rati. Soon the team started forming and we were now fully committed to the trip. https://www.facebook.com/JungleRoutesSafaris was our partner in crime.. Shiwani and Maithilee did all the grunt work of organizing the safari, booking us in hotels, getting the Core vs Buffer equation right (That's super critical to sight tigers) .. as you will see in later secions.

We began our journey by flight from Mumbai to Nagpur .. landing at Nagpur airport on the 14th Night 10.00 pm. A fantastic arrangement of dal Khichdi before we hit the bed... the heat was already quite intolerable in Nagpur and we were shuddering to think of Chandrapur. Morning we had a sumptuous breakfast at Brindavan in Nagpur with our colleagues who joines us by Train and off we went to the wilderness. There was a huge sense of excitement in seeing a Tiger in the wild.. the only equivalent i had was either the opium dosed tigers in Thailand, the ones in Jijamataa Udyan (captivity) or the Lions of Africa ... there are no Tigers in Africa.

We reached our destination in very comfortable Innovas with Captain seats and enjoyed an awesome lunch in Tiger's Heaven resort. .. again everything was impeccably arranged by https://www.facebook.com/JungleRoutesSafaris

The Itinerary was as follows:

Day1 - 15th (Friday) - 2.00 pm departure for Buffer Zone (Buffer has more vegetation and is recommended for afternoons to avoid the heat),

Day 2 - 16th (Saturday) - 5.45 am - departure for Core

Day 2 - 16th (Saturday) - 2.00 pm - Depareture for Buffer

Day 3 - 17th (Sunday) - 5.45 am - Departure for Core

Intelligent arrangement of Core vs Buffer plus booking for 14 people in groups which just matched the itinerary and the overall comfort in the trip was the key highlight. Not to mention a Tiger Sighting every single Game drive. 

We saw Maya, chota Matka, Mowgli.. and a whole jungle full of other animals.

Nothing will compare to the morning view of animals in the wild .. going about their business, enormously curious to the vans and jeeps meandering around their neighborhood.

For all the Carnivore competitors - look at this Herbivore.. i wonder where the protein comes from! 

There are hundreds of Tiger pics which we took. i am just presenting the Top 3 .. this should give you a perspective of why you should go to Tadoba too.. Do call Shiwani on jungleroutes@gmail.com
