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!

Twenty eight sightings in ten days were well in excess of even our wildest dreams and we will never, ever, forget the two sightings with you, the first at point blank range of a young male, and the second with only our jeep overlooking a waterhole as we watched another magnificent male come to drink and wash. Then there was the hectic drive out of the park as dusk fell so that we did not get locked in with the tigers for the night. Unforgettable!
We also hugely enjoyed the Chambal experience. There is something there for everyone: cultural at the temples on the river at Bateshwar, wonderful food and hospitality at the Chambal Safari Lodge and, above all else the incredible wildlife, the really knowledgeable guides and the river safaris to see the black ibis and the endangered gharials and Gangetic dolphins. There are even three species of owls roosting in the grounds.
After the hustle and bustle of Delhi and Agra, the chance to get well away from the normal tourist trails and visit rural India gave us a completely different slant on this great continent. This is one of those really special places in the world and we would strongly urge future guests to grab the chance to experience Chambal.

A brief note to let you know how much I enjoyed the recent Tiger Tiger trip .I thought you had organised everything so well. Of the rail journeys after sampling both 1st. and 2nd class, there was not much real difference between the two. I cannot praise the drivers too highly, delightful people and so good spotting the animals as well as keeping to the roads! The guides were superfluous.

We had three really fantastic sightings when we saw B2 just a few metres from the Jeep and no other people around and then again in the afternoon we were very close to him. Then of course the last morning when we saw the tigress from the elephant. Never mind the quantity it was the quality that counted! The park itself is beautiful and we really enjoyed the morning visit to the fort.

The tigers certainly lived up to expectation and, as a birder, I was very happy with the Tiger Trails resort and the birdlife there. I thought the people there were also very helpful and friendly.
