To give you more insight into India’s tiger country, have a look at ...

  1. •  a brief video produced by Mick and Pat Jenner based on their ten days in Bandhavgarh (Dec 2007).

Complex and fascinating, India is famous for many compelling images, but none more so than those found in the protected, sometimes remote parts of India. It is the India we love. It is the India we want to share with you, whether you are an avid wildlife photographer, or someone with a passion for nature. 

One of India’s jewels is its collection of National Parks, Sanctuaries, and Reserves. It is a testament to India’s commitment to wildlife that it protects these areas as well as it does. 

The pressures from the immense population are real. India’s economic transformation is remarkable, for its pace, and scope. While some meaningful changes have taken hold in rural India, it remains largely unchanged. You can easily imagine what life was like hundreds, if not thousands of years ago. 

In India, fate plays an accepted role in day-to-day life. At different times, and for different reasons, India called both of us. It has been Butch’s second home since 1990. Eight years later, Susi found her way there. Embracing our fate, we launched Wild India LLC, a travel company specializing in India’s wildlife and wild places. 

We offer escorted tours and independent travel -- all with a wildlife focus. Those of you interested in travelling with us personally, take a look at our escorted expeditions, or contact Susi to customize a private tour. 

This year we are also offering essentially the same itineraries to those who want to travel on their own, but want our guidance and ground support while travelling in India. This includes Butch’s goodwill extended to your wildlife experience as our guests.

While tigers figure prominently in each of our published tours for the 2010-11 season, please know that their habitats are shared and sustained by the full variety of flora and fauna in some gorgeous settings. 

Wild India is often not easy to get to. When it is remote, getting there requires stamina, tolerance, and patience. These qualities are generally rewarded with beautiful scenery, lovely people, and humbling encounters with wildlife.

Should you decide to see the wilder side of India, don’t be surprised if you’re moved in ways you hadn’t expected. With all of the pressures on India, seeing it through the prism of its wildlife also reveals much about the culture and its people in these remote places. Experience Wild India!
If you are interested in India’s wildlife, contact us and let us show you India as we’ve come to know it, authentic and memorable. 

Kind regards,
