Dated notes from the gates we book, and the photographers who shoot them.
Short, dated notes from our own drives and the gates we work — not a brochure, just what's actually true this month.
Moharli and Khutwanda core are shut for the monsoon, as every year. Several of our buffer gates on the Pangadi–Zari side stay open through the season — if you're travelling in the next few weeks, we'll route you there rather than tell you to wait.
Two tolerant resident males sharing one territory without conflict is unusual for Tadoba, and it's still holding. Combined with the breeding females on the same routes, this remains the calmest, least crowded ground we book.
Fresh frames from the last few drives — collared males on the buffer routes, a mud-pool sighting, and a kingfisher over the stream — have gone into the gallery below rather than a separate portfolio. It's the same ground you'd actually be driven through.
Behind every unforgettable wildlife moment is somebody who has spent a great many hours in these forests waiting for it.
Founder of MySafariWorld, based in Chandrapur at the gates of Tadoba. Works on tiger and leopard behaviour, and knows the buffer routes gate by gate.
Big cats at close quarters, and the patience for everything else — reptiles, night birds and macro work most safari photographers drive straight past.
Tiger behaviour at close range — sparring, cubs, kills — plus the animals most vehicles drive past looking for cats.
