| Tours to the Indian Subcontinent |
| The combination of long periods of time in the field observing the tigers, and the familiarity of travelling throughout India, has left us uniquely placed to offer you a wealth of wildlife and cultural experiences throughout the Indian subcontinent. All of our group, individual and bespoke tours give you the best accommodation, your own private jeep for safaris and your own local guides. We will give you that “once in a lifetime feeling” every time you travel with us. |
| Wildlife Tours |
|
The secret of seeing wildlife is to spend the right amount of time in the right places with the right people.
We have many years of personal experience in the field to give our clients the best chance of being there at the right moment.
All
of our tours are designed and run to give the maximum benefit to both
wildlife and local communities, to encourage the long term protection
of species in the wild. We believe that responsible tourism provides valuable
protection by its presence, and that where a community benefits financially
from its wildlife it is more likely to help protect it.
Pete Cooper spends around four months a year in India and personally leads many of the tours to Bandhavgarh, considered to be the best place in the world for seeing tigers in the wild. His knowledge of the park and his rapport with the local people combine to make our Tiger, Tiger ! tour the best of its kind. All of our clients who have taken this tour have seen tigers.

| Heritage & Culture Tours |
|
Having fallen in love with the diverse wildlife, we also fell in love with the people, heritage and culture of one of the most diverse nations on the planet. India offers endless opportunities for the traveller.
It has a wealth of monuments, world heritage sights, languages, cultures, cuisines and religions. This combines with a fabulous landscape including the Himalayas, the deserts of Rajasthan, the forests of Madhya Pradesh, the beaches of Goa and Kerala, and the mighty rivers of the Ganges and Brahmaputra.
We have selected a range of itineraries to allow you to explore tha many facets of this wonderful country. |
| Your Protection |
|
We would like to take this opportunity to let you know the financial protection that you have for your holiday. We are not ATOL members as we do not sell flights, and we consider that membership of other bonded trade organisations would mean an unnecessary expense that we would have to pass on to you. If you pay the deposit by credit card, your holiday is protected since the card issuer is also liable to you for the full cost of the holiday. This would be so even if you were to pay the balance by cheque or some means other than that card.
(This protection is given in law under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974). |

| Client Comments |
| "Photographing Tigers in the wild can only be described as one of the most incredible experiences. It's not every day safari, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so you want to get it right and go with the right people to the right places. Chris and Megan went with Lionscape and everything was fabulous. Great camp and the best guides in the world." |

The trip to Bandhavgarh was beyond our wildest expectations, had we caught a few fleeting glimpses of a tiger we would have returned to the UK happy campers but our experiences were amazing. I still look back at the photographs & think WOW I was there & sooo close!
It's fantastic to hear my Dad raving about the tigers & to hear him talk with such enthusiasm is a real treat, you didn't experience the calm laid back man that we all know, as Lucky Leonard always had an exciting story to tell of an evening! I'm so glad that he had the luckiest trip of us all as it has been a lifelong dream of his to see a wild tiger.
The drivers were excellent & a huge thank you, should go to them for taking such good care of my Mum, they were fantastic! I worked out that we had seen 9 different tigers on 21 occasions but I haven't work out from Mum & Dad's pictures & videos exactly how many sightings they had, I just know it was more than us. With your assistance & guidance both Ritch & I have taken pictures we can be proud of, Ritch more so than me. Some of them are just amazing I can't believe that an amateur photographer has taken them, the only problem is we don't have enough wall space for all the really good ones!
Overall we had an amazing experience that none of us will forget, thank you for arranging such an outstanding trip & all being well I will be in touch in not the too distant future to book another one. I can't speak for the others on this but know that I have got the tiger bug! |

| Rosie & Shor |
| For
those of you who have visited the park, Rosie the blind dog has
become a feature on her hunt for snacks as we wait for the gates
to open in the morning. A course of Frontline anti-tick meds have cleared her coat of parasites and after her end of season bath she's looking very happy. |
 |
| Shor, the grey tabby cat, is still around but spending less time at our camp. However, a female with kittens (probably Shor's) has moved into the storeroom next to the camp office and claimed that as her new home. With the help of some cat food brought in from Delhi (the porters at Nizamuddin railway station can't understand why my bags are always so heavy....) the kittens are thriving. |
|
| Treatment Underway |
| The Tala villager who was injured by the sloth bear last year has finally undergone the first of his operations to repair his facial injuries. Once again a big thank you to those who contributed to the cost of his medicines and after care programme. |
