For mind blowing safaris, you should definitely head for Kenya+Tanzania

They couldn't have expected to see a Tiger if they took you on the tour in that jeep. With no cover on the back, what would he have done if you all saw a hungry Tiger?

Unfortunate part of Indian national parks/forests is ease of access. The ones that you can easily access, wild life has been poached and hunted. Good ones don't have easy access. You would have to hike on foot for them. Yeah not really appealing to see a Tige

Lucky, that was a Land Rover not a Jeep. It's OK, we know you're not a car guy. 🙂

Jonathon,
Apparently, you aren't a car guy either. It's a Maruti Suzuki that is pretty common in India.

Also saw no tigers in India. We were in Kerala and a "taxi-guide" conned us into a full day car ride over dreadful roads to a tiger park that had been closed for a week-- early closing due to a very early onset of 100+ weather. Had better luck in the DC zoo. At least you got the sunset. For some reason my husband was also considered an exotic photo op in India and also in Java. So interesting must be in the eye of the beholder.

@lucky You have crocodiles in your backyard? I think you meant alligators.

@Papa Smurf The American Croc population is surging in the southern half of Florida. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_crocodile

As a matter of fact, Southern Florida is the only place on Earth where crocs and alligators coexist in the wild.

While rare, crocs have been spotted around the Central Florida/Orlano area with the right weather and water salinity conditions.

We saw many tigers at Aman-I-Khas. But you need to do more drives than just 2. We did 5 drives and saw tigers (close, beautiful pictures) 3 times.

Heading to Aman New Delhi here next week for two nights then onto Aman-i-khas for 15 nights. Our 4th year in a row and we are totally crazy about Aman-i-khas. Always stay in tent #5. Usually go on Safari twice while we're there and have seen tigers almost everytime and more than one tiger. I think the morning safari's are better. The staff at Aman-i-khas is fabulous and our Batman, Mukesh is great. The Aman Delhi is wonderful as well and the rooms/suites are amazing. Love getting in the plunge pool with a bottle of wine and looking out at Humanyan's Tomb. Both venues are worth staying at if you're heading that way.
