India Tigers & Wildlife: A Photo Safari
Optimal photography opportunities in Ranthambore National Park – superb tiger territory!
We’ve designed our exclusive India photography expedition to capitalize on the very best opportunities to see Bengal tigers and other wildlife. India’s strictly protected reserves remain one of the only places on earth to observe tigers in their natural habitat. As the Indian spring moves into summer, animals anticipate the monsoon that is still weeks away. While they seek shelter during the soaring heat of midday, they still must drink and feed, moving to water at least twice a day. April to mid-June is thus the best time for frequent tiger sightings, and our small group will explore the park during this quieter season, visiting twice daily in the cooler early morning and late afternoon, with plenty of time and vehicle space to obtain superb, unhurried photos.
- Enjoy India’s best tiger photography opportunities with just 2-3 travelers per open jeep – only 6 travelers total!
- Explore Ranthambore National Park on twice-daily game drives at the optimal time of year for tiger sightings
- Safari in search of entrancing jungle wildlife including sloth bear, leopards, and more, on this immersive nature adventure

Group Size Limit
6 Travelers
Small group sizes are the best way to experience nature, and this is especially true for our photographic adventures. With only 6 travelers, you’re assured of plenty of space and personalized attention when you need it. As a small group, we maintain the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions in a way that maximizes the photo opportunities – we'll depart early in the morning to chase the best light, remain at a site of specific photographic interest to fully explore the potential, or move to a new destination when desired. Our expert naturalist and accomplished photographer is always available to answer your questions, provide tips and techniques, and to help you better understand and photograph this amazing region of the world.
