World Photography Day: Capturing the beauty of the wild, in the wild

A tigress is seen scent marking territories at the Kanha National Park, one of the best tiger reserves in the country. The staff of the national park is exceptionally dedicated and disciplined. Thanks to them, the movement of the safari vehicles is well-controlled especially when there is a tiger sighting, so that they are not disturbed.

A hippopotamus photographed at Leopard hill in South Africa. Though mostly herbivorous, it is considered the world’s deadliest large land animal. They kill more humans in Africa than any other wild animals. 

On an early morning drive, came across these two fearless lion cubs sunbathing in an open field in Maasai Mara, Kenya.

Flamingos in the Talawe Lake behind Seawood estates, my favourite place in Mumbai to go to whenever I have rare free time. Thanks to environmental supporters, these wetlands around Navi Mumbai, home to thousands of birds, will be preserved and not converted into a Golf Course.

It was worth waiting in the bitter cold all night at a waterhole to capture this beautiful Nyala, photographed at Zimanga, South Africa.

"It dances today, my heart, 
like a peacock it dances, it dances. 

It sports a mosaic of passions like a peacock’s tail.
It soars to the sky with delight, it quests, 

Oh wildly, it dances today, my heart,
like a peacock it dances.” - Rabindranath Tagore
