We have had a couple of good showers in Kabini over the past few days. Besides providing a welcome respite from the heat, they also doused all the fires that were raging in Nagarhole and Bandipur.

We have had a couple of good showers in Kabini over the past few days. Besides providing a welcome respite from the heat, they also doused all the fires that were raging in Nagarhole and Bandipur.
During our boat safari last evening, one of the guests asked, “What you are going to show us?” I smiled and replied, “Sir, it depends on Mother Nature, and what she will offer today!”.
During our jeep safari last evening, we heard strong alarm calls made by two monkey species, the macaque and the langur. The calls were so loud that we were assured of spotting some predator.
The Leopard seems to be a lucky animal for me, especially during the jeep safari. This time, I was with a big family including children and elderly people. My guests, who have been to jungles and national parks many times, wanted to see a cat, preferably a tiger. But luck was not on our side.
I went on a safari this evening in the small jeep. I wanted to get a few shots of Langurs and some of the Elephants. The forest has dried out and I like the brown & dry appearance. I got more than I bargained for.
Being a hot day, here in Kabini, even the Elephants decided to go for a swim! We were fortunate to be around to watch them beat the heat.
Today was a dry day in terms of wildlife sighting. Except for deer and birds we couldn’t spot any other animals. The safari was almost coming to an end, and the guests’ faces showed signs of disappointment.
It was tea time and as I was just about to have a sip of my favourite ginger tea; Gopal, the pool boy ran towards me shouting “Sir, please come fast. There is a big green snake on the hunt”.
Behavior of animals is unpredictable and sometimes it surprises you! As it was a sunny day, we hoped for good sighting during our boat safari and we were not disappointed!
After the rather macabre safari, today’s safari was a refreshing experience.
