Jungle jeep safari

Up early for a Jeep safari. It is foggy and we cross the river by a pole and oar powered boat. On the other side we climb into a Tata jeep. We are six, like we were on the elephant safari, being joined by an Irish couple. It is eerie driving through the fog shrouded grass. The grass is 20 feet high here so you can’t see far anyway. We pass the grassland and find ourselves in the forest. It doesn’t take long before we spot some deer. What we want to see is a royal Bengal tiger. We have already seen some tiger footprints at the start of the ride, so we are hopeful.

Through the course of the morning we see monkeys, some wild boar, rhinos and birds. The fog has lifted as the morning warms up which helps for game spotting. Dianne is better than I am at game spotting, seeing deer that no one else has noticed. We are treated to a bush breakfast around 9 am and eat it in the company of a feeding rhinoceros.Read more
