Another 5:30 wake up call and we're off! Within 5 minutes of arrival at the National Park, a tigress strolls down the road! Everyone is amazed! We don't get a very close view, but it gets us all excited and on the look out. The guide tries to track where she might go, but after a while we move on. Little did we know what lay ahead....
Sitting out in the open was a tiger, panting in the heat, no one could believe their eyes! We thought yesterday was a good sighting, but there was more to come!
Panting in the heat
After a while, he gets up and slowly ambles off, we follow...
He walks in front of the Cantaur (Open topped vehicle)
and down to a small pool beside the road....
Had a drink whilst we all watched from above....
and lay down in the water to cool off!
Look at the pads on him!
We watched him for about 20 minutes! I can't believe we'll ever ger a better sighting than this! Some people we have met haven't had a single sighting after 5 safaris. We feel very privileged.
