Her efficient preparations ensured a marvellous introduction to the people and accommodations of India.and allowed us to experience this kaleidoscope. The tiger trip was the icing on the cake. Her selection of guide/naturalist and his driver led to amazing wildlife encounters. Not only tigers but birds and many other animals that inhabit the magical forest of Ranthambore. Her trip is perfectly organised and will inevitably lead to many marvellous moments and interaction with the wildlife .
Booking a full day safari was something she offered and arranged. To spend a day in the park which allowed us to sit with tigers for extended periods and follow them with no other vehicles around was truly special. The hotel is excellent offering both Indian and Western food and a kettle in your room is extremely useful .
I have travelled with many professional photographers and can say that Janette , unlike others, is very approachable and will encourage you and educate you at your own pace and requirements. Equally, if you are an experienced photographer she will allow you to pursue your own creativity offering hints and tips as appropriate based on her many years of experience of visiting and leading tiger trips.
A superb trip. Highly recommended.
We came back with 7,500 images which we are currently sorting and editing them and they will be a permanent reminder of probably our best holiday ever. We are already booking two more trips with Natural Wonders Photography.
Other Safari experiences have taught me that where wild and elusive animals are concerned there can be no guarantees but Janette’s web-site held out hope that we wouldn’t be disappointed. Ultimately, however, the trip far exceeded my expectations in terms of both the number and the quality of the animal sightings.
Staying at the Ranthambore Regency Hotel you will discover that there are other companies who offer a very similar holiday i.e. early morning and afternoon drives in a small open-topped jeep from a comfortable but not luxurious base. What sets Janette’s trip apart is that she has secured the services of an outstanding guide, Ashlesh, and an equally accomplished driver, Sajid. Time after time we found ourselves hurtling along rough tracks to reach a tiger sighting before any other vehicle. Occasionally arriving after the rush, mysteriously they always seemed to have the authority to push through the crush to get the best viewing point possible. Local knowledge like this is priceless: on one occasion we left a crush of vehicles jostling for position on a narrow track, trying to catch sight of a female tiger and her three cubs walking through woodlands. We drove to the top of a cliff nearby where 15 minutes’ later we were the only ones able to have the perfect view from overhead.
This is a holiday mainly devoted to tiger-viewing but anyone with wider interests is not forgotten. Other large mammals had been very scarce in recent weeks but we had a good sighting of a leopard on our first drive and then, towards the end of the week, an extended sighting of a female sloth bear and cubs followed the next day by one of a lone male. Throughout the week, whenever there was a quiet moment Ash pointed out indigenous birds and I recorded 67 new to me. For the record, we saw 16 different tigers on 22 separate occasions, including all bar two of our 11 drives, with 10 alone on one half day drive. A week full of amazing and unique experiences: we will never forget it.
