Bandhavgarh in 60 Seconds
After a 17-month gestation period, I have finally managed to edit the footage I shot in Bandhavgarh in May 2013 entirely with a GoPro Hero 3 into a minute-long montage (many thanks to my good friend Phillip Ross for lending me the wonderful camera.)

Top Eight Antelopes of Kenya
They’re colourful, come in a variety of sizes and show true diversity and imagination with their head gear. Scan any piece of a Kenyan wilderness expanse, and chances are you’ll spot one of them in the frame.

Rajbehra Reminiscence
I’m just back from Bandhavgarh without a single photographable tiger encounter at Rajbehra, my favourite meadow in Bandhavgarh along with Chakradhara. In fact this entire summer, I know of only four times the Rajbehra Female (Dhiti) or one of her highly photogenic cubs have put in an appearance there during our work hours. This is…

The Ultimate Cat: A Reprise
When the golden rays shied from the dark alleys, the breeze ceased and the air stood still not to carry his scent, when his brethren remained mute and wouldn’t tell of the fire moving through the forest, my Ultimate Cat sang a silent reprise, and the dawn broke into raptures. Kanha Tiger Reserve, November 2013…
What The Wind Brought: Two Cheetahs, an Impala and a Hyena
The month of June was wet in the Masai Mara Game Reserve but the morning was clear and invigorating. Comely gazelles grazed gracefully in the expanse and goshawks preened on sun-kissed tree-branches. The wind was only a gentle zephyr wrapped around a caressing silence.Then the radio crackled to the news of a cheetah near the…

Towers of Peace: The Elephants of Amboseli (Part 1)
If there’s one thing that precedes my love for cats, it is my love for elephants. My heart has beaten for these swarthy body-builders ever since my teenage days, when my size-seven feet would trail their significantly larger footsteps in the forests of Karnataka. And beaten twice as fast when at the receiving end of an…
