Visit Kabini in karnataka [india] it has more tigers.

[@Paruchuribros]

Kabini is most over priced​and over rated tiger reserve. I visited TWICE and no luck. We need to pay based on the lens lengthwhicb is insane.@@hitheshreddy7701

You said it at the end. You are incredibly lucky. People spend weeks without a single sighting. Excellent editing.

[@Mork2001]

Went to Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in 2002 .. had 5 sightings in 2 days & did 2 hour jungle ride on an elephant .. Fabulous safari! Our kids loved it. .. MP Tourism office in Delhi & staff at Bandhavgarh were very helpful!

[@Israel_wale_chacha]

@@Mork2001 i also had 1 tiger spotting near our homes 😂😂 and every month 1 spotting in newspaper . JIM CORBETT se aa jate hai tiger bahar .

[@doglovers814]

@contemporarymatters8106 no. People don't spend weeks without a sighting. You need to be patient and be active in search. In forests like tadoba or Bandhavgarh tigers sighting is almost daily. And almost all the people see it

[@EllaMcKendrick]

Thank you very much!!

[@EllaMcKendrick]

@doglovers814 a gentlemen we met on safari wasn't so lucky. Despite having 4 x full day safaris, he didn't see a single tiger. Thankfully he had one more day in Kanha and on that final day he had a number of incredible sightings (that day was the second day featured in this video). So so sighting is never guaranteed but the more time you spend, the more you increase your chances

[@UTube1179]

Thankfully they are in India and still alive and roaming in wild. Had they been in any white country they would’ve killed by now or rotting in zoo. Kudos to India for this

[@EllaMcKendrick]

Yes, India has done a really great job with protecting tigers

India is the only place in the world where wild lions, tigers & bears exist that's y jungle book was based on india however today lions in india lives only around gir region in western india (fortunately their population is increasing now) but historically they used to share same ecosystem with tigers & bears all over india

[@EllaMcKendrick]

Too true! Would love to see the Asiatic lions on my next visit and then I will have seen lions, tigers and bears in India :)

Ella my friend, this was another amazing vlog. As your new friend from Kenya, I did make a promise that I will be watching your vlogs which are always great. Keep the good work. At least I have a learnt something from your Indian tour. How I wish I could have the courage to do it too. I damn love wild animals and seeing them in their natural habitat gives me a "wow moment". Be blessed

[@Anandpenat]

Thank you. Loved to see your coverage of Kanha.. I have done this for almost a decade now as a hobby and I have been lucky to see them at Kanha, Panna, Pench, Corbett, Tadoba, Ranthambore , Kaziranga , Nagarhole, Bandipur and Rajaji National Park . My favourite remains Dhikala , Corbett which you should seriously have on your itinerary . It is if anything even more magical in terms of its terrain and tiger sightings as its in the foothills of the Himalayas. All the very best.

[@rahulnaik1676]

please start a youtube channel or a blog about your experiences .would be encouraging for others

[@Anandpenat]

@ I only have a Instagram handle which I keep private. Because I mostly shoot only stills. So if you want I can give you the details of that.

[@EllaMcKendrick]

Wow, I would love to visit each of those reserves. Thanks very much for the recommendations :)

[@Anandpenat]

@@EllaMcKendrick My own personal recommendation is you try and do Dhikala in winter. ( Jan/Feb) .. There are no more magnificent sights on Planet Earth than watching the brilliant orange winter coat of the Bengal Tiger as it emerges from the early morning fog and mist against a background of tall teakwood trees and dense foliage of a Sub Himalayan forest.

[@MemeMinute7]

Have you been to Dudhwa National Park?

[@scopeandhope7267]

I saw a huge herd of elephants in Corbett when we were expecting tiger. They were watching from behind the bushes. Ours was the only jeep there. As soon as we stopped to have a proper look we heard great trumpet from one of them warning us to move. That sound gave me goosebumps.As soon as we crossed them a big group emerged from behind the bushes with little ones and crossed the space we were just standing on. It was truly a majestic sight. Like the big family of the real boss of jungle.

[@bobbyeapen6049]

Excellent, that was one worthwhile safari. There was some actual wildlife caught in nature.

[@EllaMcKendrick]

Yes, there's so much nature to be seen in Kanha :)

[@rextro4799]

That's not a roar. That's a growl. You would faint if you heard a tiger roar a few meters away.

[@IBBU9844108590]

Even Katy Perry is confused between tiger and lion in her song roar😂

[@bsjddjk]

definitely wrong growl is high pitched low term voice made by tiger to threaten its opponent or for frightening its prey & danger what u heard in viedeo was called roar u should know the difference between roar & growl

[@QuantumNinja1.9]

She was right. Growl is frightening, roar is just for marking territory or for calling. I don't know how this comment got so many likes, looks like so many people are dumb😓👻

[@EllaMcKendrick]

It was a roar (confirmed by our experienced guides) and it was pretty loud. The camera can't always capture the exact essence of the moment

[@bookno11lr25]

Cinematography and the music adds to the experience of watching the video .

[@EllaMcKendrick]

Thank you so much!

[@rahul77j]

Welcome to India. Thank you for visiting us and showing the amazing landscapes and our mighty Tigers to the World. India has been doing so well in protecting these Animals. From Tigers, Lions, Rhinos, Whales and rarest birds like Storks. I am so glad government has launched so many programs to protect wildlife. We received Cheetahs and i am sure Indian care takers will revive the cheetahs population in India. Most of the people from the outside visit the populous Delhi and term India as "Filth" and get million of views but I can assure you this video won't get views. This video on a 4K Tv looked like a Nat Geo Documentary. Very well shot. 👏

[@kc4276]

And not even Delhi as a whole (which is a very historic and massive city, with lots of beautiful monuments, parks and museums), but just the very small Paharganj area.

[@EllaMcKendrick]

India has done a really great job with its tiger reserves and it's amazing how the tiger population now actually seems to be increasing in India. Absolutely incredible

[@goraghosh4581]

Recently last week i went for Bandhavgarh tiger Safari and tiger spotted. It was 3 years old tiger and very beautiful. I was lucky. It waa in Magadhi zone evening safari.

[@doglovers814]

As someone who does tiger safari regularly, I would like to say that spotting a tiger isn't even that difficult, but yes, it's definitely a lot lesser than seeing lions in African Savanah as it is an open grassland forest with visibility upto a mile whereas, the Indian forests are very dense and the tiger, being an ambush predator can camouflage very well so, you need good guides and hawk eyes to spot one but I would still say that Tiger reserves like Tadoba or Bandhavgarh offer excellent tiger sighting with more chances due to their high population density you can easily see them 8 out of 10 times. I've been to Tadoba and Bandhavgarh and have had excellent tiger sighting almost every time. I think the key to success is to have a good guide and be patient and keep your eyes open. Tiger sighting in summers is almost guaranteed as tigers are mostly in water holes, but the forest is most beautiful in winter when the weather is also chilly. You should definitely visit Tadoba or Bandhavgarh national park in Dec or jan just book the park tickets now as people book it months before. I would suggest to do safari for atleast 3-4 days as they will almost guarantee your tiger sighting in these forests. Looking forward to your future videos👍 Keep posting

[@EllaMcKendrick]

A good guide is definitely important. I met a gentleman in Kanha who had been on 4 x full day safaris and not seen a single tiger. On his fourth day where he didn't see any, I saw three. Thankfully for him he had numerous sightings on his fifth day. I'm not sure why his first 4 days didn't yield any sightings but it shows a sighting is never guaranteed and there's some challenging element to it. Thanks for recommending some other reserves. I'll definitely have to come back to India and explore them :)

[@king_ofthe7seas]

you are so lucky to spot theme many tigers in your safari, some people do like 20-30 safari's but still dont get a chance to see a single tiger.

[@EllaMcKendrick]

I know, my guide was telling me. It felt very special!

[@ManishRajlani]

Hey...welcome to India..I had one question...from where did you book full day safari? What is the process? We are planning our trip to Kanha National Park but didn't find any information regarding this full day safari.

[@EllaMcKendrick]

I booked my safari through a tour operator. I don't think it's possible to get hold of full day passes on your own as the process involved the tour operator writing a letter to the park authorities and a few other things. You can get a quote from the same tour operator that I used here: safarisbyella.com/quote/
