Join Andrew Goodall for an all-new photography adventure in amazing India! This package includes three back-to-back sections, so you can choose how much you want to see, or sign up for the whole adventure.
Our entree is a four-day cultural tour, with highlights ranging from the old Delhi spice markets to the iconic Taj Mahal. This is an optional extra, but even if you have really come for the wildlife, these are some truly must-see Indian experiences.
Then from March 1st we are in ‘safari mode.’ Over 15 days we explore several national parks to photograph some amazing Indian wildlife including Bengal Tigers, Sloth Bears, Leopards and of course lots of beautiful birds.
Finally, you can choose to join us as we journey deep into the mountains and the unforgettable Himalayas. Heavy snow-falls in the high mountains at this time of year drive most of the wildlife to lower ground. This gives us a great chance to capture many rare species including the magnificent Snow Leopard! There is plenty more wildlife to find as well, all while surrounded by alpine landscapes you will NEVER forget.
You will be travelling with three expert guides. Andrew Goodall is a career wildlife photographer and teacher, there to make sure you have all the guidance you need in the photography department. Pierre Duval is the owner of Guiding The Wild (GTW) – an African tour company specialising in amazing nature experiences. Pierre himself is an expert wildlife spotter. Pradeep Singh is a naturalist with local knowledge of the prime wildlife locations.
