So far I have been to many national parks in India but Tadoba visit is close to my heart because of amazing landscapes, wildlife photographic experiences and diversity of flora and fauna I came across during the visit and because of this I would like to visit the park at least once a year. Undertook the journey during second week of June’2022 and because of time constraint, was able stay at the park for only two days during which I took four numbers of gypsy safaris. First days was the plan to visit Pangdi core Zone and Kolara Core zone whereas on second day was planned for Alizanja and Madnapur buffer zones. Safari timings are 05:30am-09:30am in morning and 03:00pm-06:30pm in the afternoon in summers. Was able to capture wild dogs, sloth bear, tigers, four horned antelope, leopard, spotted deers, sambars, Gaurs, crocodile and host of birds which included Indian paradise flycatcher, Indian Pitta, honey buzzard, changeable hawk eagle, different types of woodpeckers. Was fortunate enough to have the glimpse of pride of tadoba-The Matkasure, which is a huge tiger and has now entered into the fag end of his life. The climate during the June is very hot in the region and so was at tadoba as well. You need to have good endurance to roam under scorching sun in afternoon safari but the same pays you back in terms of good sighting of wild animals especially the tigers. Had to wait for more than two hours at one place at particular place, Jharni Tiger’s forest hut in Madnapur buffer zone, at a temperature of around 45 degrees but which ultimately paid me amazingly by the sighting of Matkasur and other tiger.
