Dear Sharad and Manjeet,

We have arrived safely back and are slowly sorting through pictures and memories. Thank you for organising a great trip. as promised heres a testimonial for your use:-)

"We have spent 16 days primarily visiting National Parks and Sharad and his team ensured the extensive logostics worked perfectly. There were someone to meet and greet at every juncture. Knowledgeable guides and helpfull staff were everywhere. We were thouroughly briefed at the start and everything went smoothly throughout the entire trip.

We visited Corbett, Bandavgahr and Kahna and saw lots of wildlife, not least 9 Tigers which was the main goal of the trip. So all in all a great success."

Hope this is the sort of thing....please note my new mail adress - new job!!

Med venlig hilsen/ Best Regards

Dear Sharad,

Thank you for your e-mail. I have been meaning to write and thank you for all your help. I am happy to share my experiences with the Nature Safari.

My family and I travelled to India this past December. I was overwhelmed with the idea of planning a trip to India. I knew we wanted to go to the Bandhavgarh National Park?and contacted Sharad at the Nature Safari to make reservations. His response was immediate and he offered to help with planning the rest of my trip. He was fantastic, and he ended up booking train reservations, drivers, guides and hotels for our trip. Planning this from the United States would have been impossible without his help. Prior to leaving I was anxious if indeed all my reservations had been made - this group is extremely honest and reliable, and my worries were for nothing.? Upon our arrival we were even more pleased with the staff and service of the Nature Safari. They were prompt,?courteous and extremely helpful. A special thank you to Manjeet who was always available to help us with our needs!?

Seeing Tigers in the wild has been a life-long dream for me and our trip to Bandhavgarth and our stay at the Tiger's Den surpassed my expectations. It was the highlight of our trip. We had a fantastic guide/naturalist, Jagat, he was extremely?knowledgeable. His ability to track tigers and his expertise of the wildlife and park made our experience exceptional. We were blessed with seeing 11 tigers during our 5 days, a dream come true.

It's my pleasure to highly recommend the Nature Safari to anyone thinking of traveling India.

Dear Sharad,
I was really impressed by the punctuality and all the services of your company and by the friendliness and the professionality of your collaborators. My first trip to India has definitely been well organized and I spent nice and interesting days. I got to see the tigers and I had the chance to take some good pictures of birds, places and other animals. In Bandhavgarh, surprisingly, I didn't have many chances to spot tigers (just one good spotting from the jeep), probably due to the fact that my stay was shorter there than in Khana.
The Tiger Den Resort was very comfortable with a very cordial and familiar atmosphere just as Tuli Tiger Resort was, which also offers very well prepared guides for safari. In fact I did eight spottings of tigers, six of which from the jeep and one very near, about 5 meters, for 25 minutes.
Certainly I will contact you in the future to organize some other vacations maybe in Gir and Kaziranga. Until then, thanks for everything!!
See you Guido Parma

Good evening Sharad,

Coming back to France (after a long queue at the airport 2h 1/2....) we would like to say to you that our trip was excellent and that the care you took for us was very well appreciated. Thank you Sharad to you and all your team

From the 1st minute we arrived at Delhi till we left from 15 days later, all people of your organization were there at the right time, no delay, all drivers drove us through roads and traffic in good condition, very kindly and in time.
Guides were also helpful and for some of us, it was nice to have some French speaking ones sometimes (for me as well, less work to do for my fellows...)
Hotels were also as expected and very nice (next time we should go more to "havelis", there is some kind of spirit in)
Even with the booking missed for our internal flight at the end of the trip, the back up solution was a very good experience (what a drive here...!) and left us enough time to enjoy.

May be some improvments to be done for the packed picnics, (train, minibus) but not a big deal , we were not starving

Wildlife : we saw 5 tigers in Khana (by elephant only) and 10 in Bandavghar both by elephant and from the jeeps, so as this was the main topic of our trip this was excellent. Sharad you must try to offer some elephant ride to see tigers during 1 or 2 hours, searching and following the cats, it will be top of the top...!

I will surely recommand Nature Safari to anybody wanted to go to India, and believe us , we have some experiences traveling around the planet...

From all of us 8 again thank you for this very good organisation, and next trip to Paris, I will be pleased to be your guide for a city trip........

Best personal and warm regards
Alain + "French independant group"

Hello Sharad & Manjeet and all @ Nature Safari.

Well we arrived home safely after the amazing trip organised by you, we have many happy memories!

We had a fantastic time and couldn't have hoped for a more organised trip - we were met at each port of call and transferred to all the lodges / sites as promised without any worries at all.

We got to see a few Tigers - which was fantastic- obviously there is no guarantee - but we were fortunate in seeing them both from an elephant and from the vehicle (good views for photos).

The lodges were comfortable - we particularly enjoyed Tuli Lodge. The rooms were spacious, the patio area was bright and airy and it had a nice swimming pool.

Bandhavgarh was also very nice - the service here was much more personal and friendly.

I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone I know who was thinking of visiting India.

I have attached a few of my fav. photos for you as requested.

Many Many thanks again - it was great dealing with you all.

Do you organise trips other than to India?
We may be looking to go on safari in Zambia at the end of the year, and if you can assist or recommend a tour operator that would be great.

Warmest Regards

Paula & Thomas

Hi! Sorry about the delay in answering your email. My company was moving to a new building this weekend.

We really enjoyed the travel arrangements made by Sharad. He's very easy to work with, very honest and trustworthy, and made an excellent itinerary for us, along with some great hotel reservations, and used expert nature guides.

We highly recommend him. We are very lucky that someone suggested him to us, and our trip arrangements were handled expertly and professionally by him and his assistant.

However, we did not go to see tigers (we went at the wrong season of the year); our main focus was bird watching, and that was superb.

I can honestly say that you won't go wrong if you use Sharad for your travel arrangements. We definitely will use him again in the future.

Dear Sharad
We are now back in the UK and would like to send our sincere thanks to you and your team for helping us have a marvellous holiday. We were very impressed by the thoroughness of our intinerary, the attention to detail was excellent - nothing was left to chance. Not only were we were looked after every step of the way, last minute changes we requested during our trip were accommodated with speed and efficiency - your service couldn't be bettered. We also appreciated the way that you kept in contact with us during our time in India - a nice personal touch which made us feel more like welcome visitors and not just clients. Our tiger sightings were fantastic (Bandhavgarh thoroughly recommended) and we feel privileged to have seen these wonderful creatures in their natural habitat.

We read your tribute to Challenger - he was truly a magnificent animal and were glad we had the opportunity to see him but sorry that it was in such sad circumstances. We have tried to send this email with photos of Challenger attached but it has been returned by your mailbox as 'over quota'. We have also tried to send some more photos which you may like to use on your site and although we've not had them returned, we are not sure if you have received them or not, perhaps you can let us know. We will be happy to send photos again if you would like them.

Thank you again for all your help and also for the wildlife book, it's a wonderful souvenier of our visit.

Dear Sir
We wanted our India trip to emphasize wildlife and nature (and of course we hoped to see tigers!), but we wanted also to get a feeling for the diverse spiritual and cultural history of India and her people. With the limited time we had available for travel these goals seemed almost too much to ask.

But as it turned out, from start to finish our India trip was a resounding success, thanks mostly to the superb planning and professional care provided for us by Sharad Vats and Nature Safari Ltd. At each camp, national park, and historic site, we felt like we were treated as VIP's. Transfers were generally seamless, and Sharad Vats arranged and kept viable backup plans in place in case we experienced flight delays or cancellations due to weather.

We were always met on time by a friendly and knowledgeable guide upon our arrival into a new train station or airport, and the personal sightseeing tours arranged for us in cities and historic areas were outstanding and truly informative. Our hotel and camp accommodations (most of which were suggested or recommended by Nature Safari) were always of very high quality and comfort, as was the food and service.

Our car transportation arrangements were uniformly excellent and our driving days were quite comfortable, despite the inherent difficulties of road travel in some of the remote regions we visited. To top it all off, we were fortunate beyond our hopes in sighting tigers and other wildlife in the parks, due especially to the superb skills of the naturalists and trackers arranged for our visit by Nature Safari.

We arrived home with photographs and memories to last a lifetime! I recommend most highly the expert services of Sharad Vats and Nature Safari Ltd. to all serious travelers who seek the best experiences that a cultural and wildlife-oriented visit to India can offer."
