Tiger Travel – The Adventure of a Lifetime for Wildlife Enthusiasts

If you are an avid wildlife enthusiast searching for your next big trip, why not go to India in search of the Tiger? Travel through the Indian jungle and spend time with one of the world’s most elusive big cats and you will take home memories that will stay win your mind forever. Some companies specialise in wildlife trips, and it is these you should travel to India with to focus on the Tiger. Travel with the right company and you'll enjoy a well-planned holiday with optimum sightings. This majestic big cat is one of the planet’s most incredible mammals and, due to its endangered status, it is the focus of many conservation efforts - especially in India where there is the largest population of the animal in the world. Many companies that organise such tours are also involved in conservation efforts, so if you book with one of them you can be assured you will be contributing too. India has several designated reserves that have been set up as part of Project Tiger, so there is no shortage of itineraries available to choose from. Travel to India to Sight the Tiger Travel on an organised tour and you will maximise your chances of seeing this fascinating creature. Naturally elusive and sadly endangered, they can be difficult to spot. Tours are accompanied by expert naturalist guides who are experienced in interpreting the rhythms of the jungle, so that they know where the big cat will be. The guides are also full of local knowledge and are more than happy to answer questions on any other wildlife you come across. Booking with a reputable company will ensure you travel with a group of like-minded people and that your accommodation is comfortable. Lodges are located within the parks; they are simple, but built in keeping with the natural surroundings and are complete with all conveniences. Each day you'll have the opportunity to head out on two game drives into the jungle in search of the Tiger. Travel is in open topped jeeps and there are also options to take elephant rides in some reserves. You'll also have the chance to encounter many other Indian jungle inhabitants too, including the Sambar Deer, the Wild Dog, Wild Boar, Golden Jackal, and many wonderful bird species too. There are many species involved in the circle of life in the Indian jungle and, even if your focus is on the big cat, you may be surprised at the other impressive wildlife sights you will see.
