Tiger Safaris
Nothing prepares you for seeing your first tiger in the wild. The world’s most iconic big cat is a mightily impressive sight, exuding power, guile and athleticism. An increase in tiger numbers means an even greater opportunity to see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.
India’s eagerly awaited tiger census results were published in July 2019 and, as anticipated, tiger numbers in India have increased by 33%, from 2,226 to 2,967 since the last census in 2014.
The history of tiger conservation in India is a complicated one. But this recent growth in population does not just offer some hope for the big cats in the area, but also endangered animals right across the planet. India, a country that is almost bursting at the seams with its human population, has managed to find a way to accommodate and protect tigers. What then, is possible in the rest of the world?

My travels were first inspired by my love of the UK, which I take as much pleasure in exploring as countries far and wide. For me, travel is all about the adventure, the people I meet and the food I sample along the way.
