We will then be finding ourselves aboard several safari vehicles, driving into different parts of Nagarhole, not knowing which animal would be lurking around every corner. We’ll keep our eyes peeled and hope that the safari turns out to be a very successful one and full of thrilling adventure and fun.
Later that evening, we’ll gather around a campfire in our resort in Kabini which is the Red Earth Resort Kabini for a presentation on composition and discuss our safari experience and animal behaviour.
