Why Go On An India Wildlife Tour
India has over 500 wildlife sanctuaries and about 100 National Parks that are attempting to preserve its rich flora and fauna. One of the 18 biodiversity hotspots in the world, it has 197 species of amphibians, 408 species of reptiles, 410 species of mammals, 1300 species of birds and 2550 species of fishes. There are as many as 28 Tiger Reserves in India that are actively working to salvage the highly endangered species of Royal Bengal Tiger. The amazing diversity of terrestrial, aquatic, and avian fauna Indian wildlife sanctuaries have to offer are enough lure in themselves for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers.
The tiger sighting opportunities at Ranthambore National Park and Bandhavgarh National Park are unmatched. Besides, forests in India are also known for Asian Elephants, Asiatic Lions, Leopards and Indian Rhinoceros. The elephants at Periyar and rhinos at Kaziranga are a big attraction, while Keoladeo National Park is known as home to a number of indigenous and migratory birds. Bird watching tours at Keoladeo are an opportunity to see rare Siberian cranes, beautiful Indian peacocks and as many as 26 rare bird species. The unusual wildlife tours take you to conservation centers for a particular fauna species, such as National Chambal (Gharial) Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can see how Indian crocodiles live and reproduce.
After Africa, India perhaps has maximum number of eco-zones and unique habitats. An India wildlife tour can take you to high mountains and highlands in the North, temperate and desert forests in the West, plains and grasslands in Central India, riverine areas and swamplands to the East, and tropical forests of the South. Then, there are virgin forests of the island archipelago to explore too. The vast variations in latitudes, altitudes, rainfall, topography, and vegetationof these wildlife areas are interesting to watch and shoot. Expert guides, with ample real-life adventures and local knowledge to keep you safe and well assisted during your jungle safaris, add thrill and excitement to your wildlife tours.
Nowhere in the world will you be able to ride a camel through deserts to see reptiles, embark on an elephant safari to inaccessible corners of the jungle to see forest animals from close quarters, enjoy boat rides that take you so close to bird nests and tigers lazing around in the sun that you can stretch and touch them in a single wildlife tour. Jeep safaris around national parks, waiting for hours to click tigers at strategic positions such as water spots, nature walks with expert tour guides who know all about the best trails through the jungles, and bicycling through bird sanctuaries are other wildlife pleasures that you can experience during your jungle adventure in India.
The discerning travelers to India can find some of the best luxury hotels, forest lodges, jungle camps and hunting resorts in India that allow them to stay in style and elegance even in wilderness. Some of these forest resorts are so rich, beautiful and unique that a stay here in itself is a pleasure for the tourist. Wildlife tour experts can advice you on staying in elaborately decorated huge Mughal-style tents, and rooms with glass walls to allow seamless view of jungles and its inhabitants at all times and make your wildlife tour to India truly exceptional.

The Rebel Tours $12.08 In 1968, cricket was at the forefront of global opposition to apartheid as the Basil DOliveira affair proved a watershed in the sporting boycott against South Africa. Upon the fall of that government 22 years later, cricket was again highly praised; the newly-released Nelson Mandela was among many to attribute huge significance to the boycott in bringing an end to the apartheid regime. Yet in between the boycott was repeatedly breached. Teams from England, the West Indies, Australia (all twice), and Sri Lanka (once) toured South Africa in defiance of the sanctions, playing unofficial Tests and one-day internationals against home teams to meet the voracious demand of a sports-hungry white populace. These rebel tours constituted perhaps the largest crisis in cricket history. The ICC imposed three-year international bans on every rebel tourist, depriving the game of many distinguished performers. But the tours delighted their South African hosts. Despite the fevered controversy and heavy penalties, many players considered the rewards usually a years salary, tax-free adequate compensation, and tours continued right up until the fall of apartheid: Mike Gatting was leading the second England tour at the time Mandela was released. And they were not alone as the UK remained among apartheid South Africas most active economic trading partners. This episode in cricket history is rich in historical and contemporary significance, as well as exercising sports political dimensions both positive and negative in a way not seen before or since. Yet until now it has scarcely been examined, due not only to the respectability of the tourists but also deep unease within the cricket world. Few players feel they have adequately explained their actions, while the sport at large was as it remains slow to examine its moral and political responsibilities. |

Wildlife Photography $14.95 Photographer and environmentalist Uwe Skrzypczak wrote this book with several goals in mind–to teach the technical aspects and the workflow of digital wildlife photography; to show the beauty of East Africa and his beloved Serengeti National Park and to educate about its habitat; and to provide a guide for the photographer who is planning to go on an African photo safari and wants to be prepared to capture the finest possible images. Beginning with digital photography techniques and workflow, Skrzypczak draws his own vast experience in wildlife photography to teach about the equipment, the pros and cons of camera types and lenses, and the specific requirements for this demanding task. Also covered are appropriate techniques for exposure for this demanding task. Also covered are appropriate techniques for exposure and autofocus-the latter being one of the major challenges in wildlife photography. He discusses an “on the road” workflow, the logistics of transporting your gear, and image editing. The book goes on to cover the practical aspects of wildlife photography, from shooting animal portraits to panning the camera in order to capture that speeding leopard. Example images are accompanied by a small set of pictograms showing which techniques are ideal for capturing the specific situation. Loaded with hundreds of breathtaking images, this comprehensive textbook is perfect for the beginning wildlife photographer as well as the seasoned pro. Whether your subject is African wildlife or bird photography in the Arctic Circle, Uwe Skrzypczak’s Wildlife Photography will teach you the fundamental concepts and techniques that can be applied to all forms of wildlife photography.
