About the Kanha Photography Tour
Wildlife Photography Tour at Kanha is designed for outstanding wildlife watching & photography experience.
The tour to Kanha will focus on tigers but we will also give a chance to see the rare hard ground swamp deer (barasingha), Gaurs (wild oxen locally called as Indian bisons), dholes (wild dogs), jackals, jungle cats and birds including raptors and owls.
January is the rutting season of the barasinghas so there are very good chances to photograph displaying males during this time.
All our tours operate at an easy pace that we believe is necessary for good wildlife watching and photography. Thus we give more time at each place, instead of hopping around from place to place. Wildlife in our experience requires time and patience.
Each tour itinerary is simple and needs minimum travel outside the forest. We spend most of the time on safari watching and photographing wildlife.
A tour with us will give you the opportunity to explore and know the place and its inhabitants.
Private guided tour
All our tours are private guided tours with a very tiny group of nature lovers. The average group size is usually 2 or 3 people.
Advantages to photographers
Beginners or Amateur Photographers can learn a lot in the field from the accompanying wildlife photographer. They also gain a lot of in the field insight and practical tips about wildlife photography and animal behavior.
Professional photographers definitely benefit from the experience of the accompanying photographer about the place and the animals. This improves the chances of a great photograph by being in right place and position.
Best time for wildlife
We enter the forest as soon as the park gates open in morning and stay as late in the evening before the park gate closes. We understand that the Best possible time to watch & photograph wildlife is the early mornings and late evenings when animal activity is at its highest and the soft golden light creates great images.
Timings vary depending on the seasons and the park officials. Mornings safari usually starts as early as 6:00 a.m. and evenings end around sunset.
What to expect
10 jungle safaris/game drives during the 6 days will give plenty of opportunities to watch & photograph the Bengal Tigers, the rare hard ground swamp deer (barasingha) and a host of other amazing wildlife like langurs, cheetals, sambars, jackals, gaurs(Indian bison), dholes(Indian wild dogs) and variety of birds. Etc.
