Tea and cheese sandwiches available to stop any pre safari hunger pangs. We were shown to a jeep with another British traveller and mabe the 20 min journey to Bijrani Gate.
I always try not to get my hopes up re seeing a tiger but the morning safari was one of those occasions where you feel pretty convinced you're not going to see one. I had heard that Bijrani was good for tiger sightings, maybe better than Dhikala but no luck this morning. The zone, though stunning, is not as beautiful as Dhikala with the added disadvantage that you don't see wild elephants. It was still a glorious morning, the highlight was seeing Great Indian Hornbills in the trees, wonderful birds and I'd never seen them before.
Other than that, lots of deer, and monkeys....
And of course the fresh tiger pugmarks, I have this vision of someone with a pugmark stamp rushing out before the first jeeps to place tantalising tiger evidence so that you feel like you've been near one even if you don't see one!
