Tiger Safari

---

Kathleen Kerwin heard about the Tiger Safari in India so off we went in search of Tigers.

"Ranthambore is a national park and tiger reserve in the Rajasthan state of western India. It is located in Sawai Madhopur district of southeastern Rajasthan, about 130 km from Jaipur, which is also the nearest airport. The nearest town and railway station is at Sawai Madhopur, 11 km away. The park lies at the edge of a plateau, and is bounded to the north by the Banas River and to the south by the Chambal River. There are several lakes in the park. It is named for the historic Ranthambore fortress, which lies within the national park. The park covers an area of 392 km², and is famous for its tiger population, and is one of India's Project Tiger reserves. Other major wild animals include the leopard, dhole, wild pig, sambar, chital and the gaur. Major wild animals found in the national park include the tiger, leopard, nilgai, dhole, wild pig, sambar, chital and the gaur.

Meow
Don't pretend you are not impressed. This cat was walking down the dirt path next to our car. Good thing he already had lunch.

Baby Tiger
The park rangers rescued this baby Tiger. She was born with a deformed leg and abandoned by her mother.

Scaredy Cat
I called her a coward. She turned and ran. She could sense my superior hand-to-hand combat skills.

Pair of Keets.
I wonder why these Keets always travel in pairs?

Setting the Mojo
Jen said we were being too cynical about the Safari. Once she set the Mojo straight with her red glove and Mojo stare, we spotted the Tiger within the hour. You can't just go see Tigers. You have to get the Mojo right first.

Khem Villas. Incredible food and service. This outdoor bathtub in our private villa was 7 feet long and 2 feet wide.
