I am excited for my 2027 Photo Wildlife Expedition, born from the deep passion I developed for India’s extraordinary wildlife during my previous expedition in February 2025.
This journey has been carefully planned around India’s prime big-cat sighting season. As summer begins to take hold, temperatures rise, water sources become increasingly scarce, and vegetation starts to thin out. Tigers, which unlike lions are particularly fond of water, often spend considerable time around the remaining waterholes and pools, especially during the cooler morning and evening hours. These seasonal conditions can significantly improve opportunities to locate and photograph them in the wild.
Yet finding a tiger in India's vast forests is never simply a matter of luck. Tigers are solitary, elusive masters of stealth, with the exception of mothers raising their cubs, which typically remain with them until around two years of age. Successfully locating these magnificent animals requires careful planning, an understanding of their behaviour and territories, and experienced tracking in the field. The parks and zones selected for this expedition have been chosen with precisely these factors in mind.
We will begin the expedition with two safaris dedicated to the popular tigress F2 and her fresh litter of four cubs at Gothangaon, subject to their movements and availability within the safari zone.
From there, we will transfer to Tadoba, widely regarded as one of India's most productive tiger landscapes during this season. The park offers a diverse network of safari zones, with several resident tigresses currently raising young cubs. Tadoba is also home to a number of bold and charismatic male tigers. We will spend eight safaris across different zones of the park, giving us multiple opportunities to explore different territories and encounter a variety of individual tigers and other wildlife.
Our journey will then take us to Kaziranga National Park in northeastern India, a completely different ecosystem and one of the world's greatest wildlife destinations. Kaziranga is home to India's unique Big Five: the Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros, Asian Elephant, Tiger, Wild Water Buffalo and Swamp Deer. Over four safaris, we will explore its grasslands, wetlands and forests in search of these magnificent mammals.
There will also be one particularly special possibility: the elusive golden tiger. Only 4 are known to exist in the wild, and Kaziranga is the only place where this exceptionally rare colour morph has been documented in the wild.
Beyond its mammals, Kaziranga is also an outstanding birding destination, adding another dimension to the photographic opportunities during our stay.
Our final destination will be Rajaji National Park in northern India, where we will undertake four safaris in search of Indian Leopards and Elephants.
Rajaji offers a very different experience from the tiger landscapes of Central India and the open floodplains of Kaziranga. Its forested terrain provides an opportunity to observe and photograph Indian Leopards in their natural habitat, along with wild Asian Elephants and the other species that inhabit this remarkable Himalayan foothill ecosystem.
We will conclude the expedition by returning to New Delhi, bringing our journey through some of India's most spectacular wilderness areas to an end. This expedition brings together multiple ecosystems, four distinct wildlife destinations, and an exceptional diversity of species within a single carefully planned journey. From tracking tigers through the forests of Central India, to searching the vast grasslands of Kaziranga for rhinos and elephants, and finally exploring the forests of Rajaji for leopards, the expedition has been designed around wildlife behaviour, seasonal conditions and photographic opportunities.
