Tiger Tiger!
At Bandhavgarth with Danny Green & Mark Sisson and after a slow start things got going this afternoon with some fine views of this large male. Having been here five years ago and seen nothing I can tell you that this was a massive thrill and ranks up there with all my big cat experiences over several visits to Ndutu & the Serengeti. Got six more days to go so hope to add more shots to the collection :wink:

75% of original. Only got DPP on the macbook so please excuse the quality of the processing :wink:

Hi Bob, try and get the Tiger on the dam, walking, that's the money shot. :smile:

Lookout for the colony of Rhesus monkeys and the fish owl, plus, if he is still there, the little owl that lives in the tree opposite the office, just before the entrance gates.

To look into a Tigers eyes is the ultimate experience!
