Thanks a lot for all the kind comments .... @Game Warden - super thanks for all you’ve done for SafariTalk and the way forward in the New Year!!!! 

 

@kittykat23uk - I think a spot just above her eye? And her sister is dotty (again something similar)

Ha I was also going to ask "why Spotty?" as I don't see any spots! She should be Stripey :)

 

Fabulous encounter and photos! Soooo cute and love the shots in the little cave, very different!

Wow, great photos!  I may need to rethink writing off a safari to see tigers in India.

Beautiful Hari - what a way to start the New Year!

Happy New Year indeed - lovely pictures!

Lovely start to the year. Especially love the shot of the tiger cub inside its den 

Posted

Fantastic sighting and beautiful photographs too. Well 2019 seems to be a big year in the making for you. Make most of it.

great shots of the magnificent tiger, and such cute cubs! was mum bringing her cubs on a walkabout around the area? 

 

Posted

Those cubs are just precious … lovely photos as expected from you.

Worth braving the cold for Hari

OMG Hari this is amazing. I had no idea there were tiny cubs there. It’s only 4 weeks and we will be there. Where did you stay? Which direction are they? Can I possibly see them, I cannot imagine anything better! Are you in the area in February? It would be great to meet you after all this time . Pen

Belated Happy New Year, Hari. 

 

Fabulous us pictures of a beautiful tiger and her gorgeous cubs. Bandhavgarh came through despite the cold weather.

Thanks so much for all the kind comments!!!  Much appreciated ....

 

@penolva - we stayed at the taj property .... but outsourced the game drives. 

 

In tala zone 

 

zone 3 is shut - elephants have moved in from chattisagarh and have never seen vehicles ( I also assume drives haven’t been around wild elephants ) like at Kabini etc 

 

have a blast!!!

 

i’m in Bandhavgarh again mid-end March - will miss you unfortunately....

@madaboutcheetah such a pity we won't cross paths yet again in India! Maybe next time. High hopes for Tala Zone. Pen
