Wild Tigers Safari

Mar 22-Apr 4, 2027 - 14 Days - Sold Out

Join us in India during the prime season for Bengal tiger activity. With temperatures still moderate, tigers are on the move—roaming, hunting, and interacting—giving you the best opportunities to capture unforgettable images. We’ve secured 6 full-day and 2 half-day safaris in Tadoba and Kanha National Parks. Full-day permits allow early entry, flexible zone selection, and the ability to stay out from dawn to dusk—dramatically increasing your chances of extraordinary encounters. Then, we’ll head to Pench National Park for 3.5 days of wildlife-rich exploration, with strong chances to photograph Bengal tigers, Indian leopards, bison, wild dogs, and more. With only two participants per jeep, you'll have plenty of space and the freedom to shoot from both sides. This 14-day, all-inclusive adventure is led by world-renowned tiger photographer Nitish Madan—don’t miss your chance to learn from the best and come home with portfolio-worthy images.

Full Day Safari Permits

Many India photo workshops will advertise having full-day safari permits. But pay attention to the number of full-day safaris they offer. Many times, it's only 1-3. On the other hand, we are offering SIX full day safaris. These permits are 5 times the cost of regular safari days. The benefits include:

Enter 20 mins before the other safaris and leave 20 mins later.
Choose any zone we want depending on where the best sightings are.
Enjoy the midday hours when all other jeeps have to leave the park.
Fewer restrictions, like being able to stay on a location as long as we like and being able to back-up on the road.
These are the same permits given to film crews like the BBC, National Geographic, etc.

We recommend arriving in Delhi the day before the workshop begins on Mar 23rd. If you arrive the day before, you will need to book your own lodging near the airport. We recommend the Pride Plaza Hotel. We will meet at Terminal 2 at the Delhi International Airport around midday on Mar 24th for our flight to Nagpur.

If you are interested in photographing the Holi Festival on March 22nd, i.e. the Festival of Colors, we recommend arriving at least 2 days early. The festivities are quite lively with numerous photo opportunities in places like Nandgaon and Barsana.

If we cannot pair you up, you will be asked to pay the single supplement.
