The battery on the computer is going to die so this will be quick. It was a long drive to Kanha from our treehouse but we made it here in time for the afternoon drive. It was the naturalist, Jim and me and a lady park ranger. We saw not one but two tigers. We saw a tiger on the road-no one around! soon after he went to the jungle nearby, a car came that had just seen a female cross the road coming in our direction.
We looked and she crossed the road in front of us and behind where the male tiger was. The cars piled in and we were all craning to see if we could see it. Our two naturalists were great and the new lady guide spotted it well. We moved to a different location and we saw the male tiger swim across a small pond and get out near us and he crossed the road near a bunch of cars and we could see it but could not get close enough for photos and we just enjoyed it. We have enough photos now to just be able to enjoy the experience. The lady naturalist was so tickled. She was telling every car we met that she had seen two. Shs is brand new so know this was special to her.
Guess what our cottage name is....we are the only tiger cottage. How fitting.

This resort is the opposite of the last one. Belongs to a member of the royalty from Nepal and the dining room is a huge table with probably 30 or more seats. Very formal like. Used to be a hunting lodge back when. It is very elegant and our cottage is so nice and comfortable. Both places were unique and fun but it was nice to get a good shower in a normal bathroom last night!
We have to get up and leave by 5:15 each morning to start the safari. It is cold and we layer to the max since the car is open. We have to drive about 25 min to the gate of the park and that is on a good road. Then we enter the park and the morning drives are about 5 hours. The afternoon ones are about 3. Not much time to do anything else! We are tired but enjoying it and have seen so much.
