Team @ Tiger Safari India
The strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack
With more than two decades of wholesome safari experiences in Indian jungles, Ishana heads a passionate team working synergistically, ensuring that our guests have an ethereal time while on safari. They know their logistics well-be its flora, fauna or qualified guides and jeep drivers, the team assures that the tour is as seamless as possible.
According to Ishana, the key to any safari is the naturalist/driver who accompanies the guest. It is the mastery of minute signs, and signals that results in missing a sighting to having an unforgettable one. As Jim Corbett said, “Jungle Lore is not a science that can be learned from textbooks, but that it can be absorbed a little at a time, and that the absorption process can go on indefinitely”. The same applies to track Tigers. Due to its infinite variations, Tiger tracking is one of the most interesting and exciting things to experience in the Jungles.
Our team is all local, they have been born and brought up in and around the national parks. Their teacher was nature, their subjects were the signs of the jungle, and they have graduated seeing the pug marks of prey and predators, listening to several bird calls, identifying the different alarm calls, knowing whether a Sambar has belled after seeing a Tiger walk, or has he seen a Tiger eating his kill. Their jungle lore, knowledge, enthusiasm, and respect for the forest and its inhabitants, is what brings in the X factor, making safaris enlightening, engaging and incomparable.
We are proud to be associated with such a skilled team, young, buoyant with energy, and passionate about the jungle and its well-being.
