I first got in touch with Janette about this trip about 18 months before we left and she was nothing but helpful despite my never ending list of questions! When the day finally came that we arrived in Delhi we were met by Jakir who expertly drove us through the mad Delhi traffic and safely down to Ranthambore to our hotel.
The Ranthambore Regency is a beautiful hotel and screams tiger! Gorgeous pictures on the wall to gaze at and get you excited for what’s to come! The food in the hotel was spectacular! I asked if I could move in…if only! Now the safaris…. incredible! I loved every single second and the wildlife was far more diverse than I naively thought! Ash was lovely and his knowledge of the reserve is unrivalled. Truly the best guide you could ask for.
We saw our first wild Tiger, Arrowhead, on the first day in the afternoon. I can’t explain the feeling when I first lay eyes on her. Such beauty! And to top it off we also saw her young cubs! Over the course of the week we saw lots of other incredible wildlife including owls, leopards, lizards, fruit bats, bee-eaters as well as so much more! I ended up buying a photographic field guide to help me identify what I’d seen when I got home as there was so much! Janette is truly lovely and a joy to spend time with. Her trip is a must and I would whole heartedly recommend it to anybody that wants to experience India’s wildlife and see it’s beautiful Tigers.
The day started with Dean baiting up the area around the pool and we were set up in the very comfortable hide complete with gimbal heads, a kettle and supplies and a portaloo! A wide variety of birds quickly arrived including bullfinches, jays, tits and many others. We were able to take shots on the pool itself but also on the surrounding farm objects creating very natural props. Dean kept in touch with us via a radio handset.
We the went on to photograph the harvest mice on a variety of stems and twigs. We were very impressed by Dean’s ethical approach in not directly handling the mice – they had their own transportation tube which they seemed to like. We did have a quick rainstorm during this session and so some of our mice ended with spiky butch haircuts!
We the went back for a final session in the hide.
We ended up with a wide variety of high quality images and were well pleased with the day. We would very much like a return visit!
The reflection pool/hide was exceedingly well set up and frequented by numerous varieties of wild birds and the odd squirrel – I can’t recommend enough and I will go back various times of the year which would give different insights and opportunities. Great facilities and support – all in all fantastic!
