Ranthambore Royalty - Bandit Queens & Other Animals (2019)
The main aim of this trip was to see the Royal Bengal Tiger (which has been on my bucket list for a long long time) - we were very lucky with the sightings - 14 sightings of 11 different tigers. But it turned out to be a whole lot more than a 'safari'. There were so many good conversations, laughs (bordering on uncontrollable hysterics), and companionable silences. The tigers were pretty awesome too.
