Location: Tadoba and Kaziranga, India.
Bengal Tigers Photography Tour
World Class Encounters with Bengal Tigers, One-Horned Rhinos, Asian Elephants, and other iconic Indian Animals.
Bengal Tigers of Tadoba
Tadoba National Park has one of the densest populations of Bengal Tigers in all of India, but it receives relatively few visitors, making it an excellent location for tiger encounters and especially tiger photography.
Spend four days tracking and photographing the world’s largest cat species within the beautiful teak wood forests of Northern India. Tadoba is also home to many other iconic Indian predators such as leopards, jungle cats, dholes (wild dogs), and sloth bears.
One-horned Rhinos of Kaziranga
After five nights in Tadoba National Park, we will move on to Kaziranga National Park; home to two thirds of the world’s remaining population of One Horned Rhinos. This lush park (sprinkled with elephant-grass meadows, swampy lagoons, and dense forests) is also a great place to photograph Asian elephants, wild water buffalo, swamp deer, and much more. You may see more tigers too!

ITINERARY
Day 1
At midday we will meet you at Nagpur Airport or at your nearby hotel, and transfer you to your luxury lodge next to Tadoba National Park; arguably India’s best park for encountering Bengal Tigers.
Upon arrival at the lodge in the late afternoon, you will have time to freshen up before a delicious dinner, followed by a short briefing from our trip leader about what to expect over the coming days in Tadoba. The evening is yours to prepare cameras, socialize at the bar, or take a stroll through the grounds.
Days 2-5
After a light pre-breakfast of fruit and tea we will head straight into the park to try to catch tigers on the move, returning from their nocturnal hunt. After a couple of hours concentrating on dawn wildlife, you will be served a more substantial breakfast inside the park to keep you going until lunchtime.
Just before noon, we will return to the lodge for lunch, then head back into the park to track more tigers until dusk. The magic hour before sunset is when the tigers glow in the warm orange light.
While tracking tigers, we will keep a look out for Tadoba’s other iconic species such as leopards, sloth bears, dholes, and numerous antelope and deer species – a favorite food of Tadoba’s tigers!
Dinner will be served in the early evening, leaving plenty of time to download images and relax before drifting off into dreams of Bengal Tigers.
Days 6
After a final tiger safari in Tadoba National Park, we will head back to Nagpur Airport and fly to Guwahati.
Days 7
After breakfast in Guwahati, we will head to the lodge at Kaziranga National Park for lunch and then head into the park for your first encounters with the iconic one-horned rhinos and asiatic elephants. Rather than fleeting glimpses of wildlife, at fabulous Kaziranga you can expect to see many rhinos and countless elephants and other large endemic wildlife.
Days 8
Today, you will have a full day in the lush green landscapes of Kaziranga National Park photographing rhinos, elephants, and much more. Potential species you may encounter include Indian gaur, swamp deer, barking deer, smooth-coated otters, wild water buffalo, jungle cats, Bengal tigers, leopards, and sloth bears.
Day 9
Be prepared for an early start as we will drive to a forested region near Kaziranga known for its diversity of primates. In this particular area, we’ll go for an easy walk through the forest to look for endemic Hoolock Gibbons, Capped Langurs, Assamese macaques, Stump-tailed Macaques, and Pigtailed Macaques.
After lunch, we’ll return to Kaziranga National Park for more time with Indian one-horned rhinos!
Day 10
After one more immersive safari with the wonderful wildlife of Kaziranga National Park, we will bring you back to Guwahati Airport in time for your evening flight.

BIG FISH EXPEDITIONS
I have been on a couple of Big Fish Photography Expeditions trips now. They are always well organized, and exceed my expectations! Andy puts together unique and action-packed trips. I’m looking forward to my next dive experience with him.

GO. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT!
I have been on 3 Big Fish Expeditions trips by now and have more trips to look forward to in the near future. First of all I share a big passion for sharks, whale and other big marine life and Big Fish Expedition is all about that. As an amateur photographer is great to be among equals and even better to get new tips and ideas from professionals.
Andy is very helpful showing new tricks and talk about UW photography in between dives. Sure the destinations offers world class diving but it’s also about the people and the relation to people and Andy surely gives everyone the feeling of being very welcome and try to give everyone a lifetime experience.
Another good thing is that Andy is maybe the only pro shooters who offers trips to very reasonable prices. I won’t go into details about all the good dives I’ve done with Big Fish but instead say GO, you will never regret it!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TIME WITH BIG FISH EXPEDITIONS
Andy is one of the best in the business. I would highly, highly recommend anyone interested in an animal focused trip to go with big fish expeditions.
The quality of experience and knowledge of the trip leader really sets them apart. Expect to get your fill of animals no matter what the trip is. Andy is also great at finding other animals to incorporate within the trips.
If you’re looking for a shark trip or big animal experience, this is your place. Period.
Enjoy!

ANOTHER GREAT ADVENTURE WITH BIG FISH EXPEDITIONS
Just returned from my second trip with BFE and it went off perfectly. The true adventure of these trips always present challenging logistics but they pulled it off flawlessly. I would highly recommend BFE to anyone looking to get “off the grid” and experience a wildlife trip of a lifetime. I am looking forward to my next adventure with them. Thanks again!!
