Truly wild animals are creatures from picture books and scary stories by our grandparents and parents; the real thing was not for most kids from my generation. Occasionally, maybe one or twice during childhood there would be a visit to a zoo, where some of these wonderful creatures could be gawped at through bars and mesh, but somehow something was not quite right.
Even though it is no longer just for the privileged few, to get to places like India is still out of reach for some. But, it has to be worth some sacrifice to see big cats, like the majestic Bengal tiger, just once in your life. Now, even with a number of trips to the National Parks of Bandhavgarh, Kanha and Tadoba under our belts, it still takes our breathe away to see a real life tiger break cover and walk past you slowly and gracefully. Sometimes they will glance at you, the lesser being, with a nonchalant almost dismissive air. They are not dangerous; they are just inquisitive like all cats.
Simple resorts like the Tiger’s Den, Chitvan Lodge and Svasara are run by delightful people who will ensure you get the best guides, proper Indian food and comfortable accommodation. The whole experience of safari type holidays in India is to make your picture books from childhood come alive and to believe Rudyard Kipling was telling the truth.
As a famous fictional character once said...' I'll be back'... and we will be this March 2018.
