Dear Sharad and Manjeet,
We have arrived safely back and are slowly sorting through pictures and memories.
Thank you for organising a great trip. as promised heres a testimonial for
your use:-)
"We have spent 16 days primarily visiting National Parks and Sharad
and his team ensured the extensive logostics worked perfectly. There were
someone to meet and greet at every juncture. Knowledgeable guides and helpfull
staff were everywhere. We were thouroughly briefed at the start and everything
went smoothly throughout the entire trip.
We visited Corbett, Bandavgahr and Kahna and saw lots of wildlife, not least
9 Tigers which was the main goal of the trip. So all in all a great success."
Hope this is the sort of thing....please note my new mail adress - new job!!

Dear Sharad,
I was really impressed by the punctuality and all the services of your company
and by the friendliness and the professionality of your collaborators. My
first trip to India has definitely been well organized and I spent nice and
interesting days. I got to see the tigers and I had the chance to take some
good pictures of birds, places and other animals. In Bandhavgarh, surprisingly,
I didn't have many chances to spot tigers (just one good spotting from the
jeep), probably due to the fact that my stay was shorter there than in Khana.
The Tiger Den Resort was very comfortable with a very cordial and familiar
atmosphere just as Tuli Tiger Resort was, which also offers very well prepared
guides for safari. In fact I did eight spottings of tigers, six of which from
the jeep and one very near, about 5 meters, for 25 minutes.
Certainly I will contact you in the future to organize some other vacations
maybe in Gir and Kaziranga. Until then, thanks for everything!!
See you
Guido Parma

Hi! Sorry about the delay in answering your email. My company was moving to
a new building this weekend.
We really enjoyed the travel arrangements made by Sharad. He's very easy to
work with, very honest and trustworthy, and made an excellent itinerary for
us, along with some great hotel reservations, and used expert nature guides.
We highly recommend him. We are very lucky that someone suggested him to us,
and our trip arrangements were handled expertly and professionally by him and
his assistant.
However, we did not go to see tigers (we went at the wrong season of the year);
our main focus was bird watching, and that was superb.
I can honestly say that you won't go wrong if you use Sharad for your travel
arrangements. We definitely will use him again in the future.

Dear Sharad
We are now back in the UK and would like to send our sincere thanks to you and
your team for helping us have a marvellous holiday. We were very impressed by
the thoroughness of our intinerary, the attention to detail was excellent -
nothing was left to chance. Not only were we were looked after every step of
the way, last minute changes we requested during our trip were accommodated
with speed and efficiency - your service couldn't be bettered. We also appreciated
the way that you kept in contact with us during our time in India - a nice personal
touch which made us feel more like welcome visitors and not just clients. Our
tiger sightings were fantastic (Bandhavgarh thoroughly recommended) and we feel
privileged to have seen these wonderful creatures in their natural habitat.
We read your tribute to Challenger - he was truly a magnificent animal and were
glad we had the opportunity to see him but sorry that it was in such sad circumstances.
We have tried to send this email with photos of Challenger attached but it has
been returned by your mailbox as 'over quota'. We have also tried to send some
more photos which you may like to use on your site and although we've not had
them returned, we are not sure if you have received them or not, perhaps you
can let us know. We will be happy to send photos again if you would like them.
Thank you again for all your help and also for the wildlife book, it's a wonderful
souvenier of our visit.

We wanted our India trip to emphasize wildlife and nature (and of course we
hoped to see tigers!), but we wanted also to get a feeling for the diverse spiritual
and cultural history of India and her people. With the limited time we had available
for travel these goals seemed almost too much to ask.
But as it turned out, from start to finish our India trip was a resounding success,
thanks mostly to the superb planning and professional care provided for us by
Sharad Vats and Nature Safari Ltd. At each camp, national park, and historic
site, we felt like we were treated as VIP's. Transfers were generally seamless,
and Sharad Vats arranged and kept viable backup plans in place in case we experienced
flight delays or cancellations due to weather.
We were always met on time by a friendly and knowledgeable guide upon our arrival
into a new train station or airport, and the personal sightseeing tours arranged
for us in cities and historic areas were outstanding and truly informative.
Our hotel and camp accommodations (most of which were suggested or recommended
by Nature Safari) were always of very high quality and comfort, as was the food
and service.
Our car transportation arrangements were uniformly excellent and our driving
days were quite comfortable, despite the inherent difficulties of road travel
in some of the remote regions we visited. To top it all off, we were fortunate
beyond our hopes in sighting tigers and other wildlife in the parks, due especially
to the superb skills of the naturalists and trackers arranged for our visit
by Nature Safari.
We arrived home with photographs and memories to last a lifetime! I recommend
most highly the expert services of Sharad Vats and Nature Safari Ltd. to all
serious travelers who seek the best experiences that a cultural and wildlife-oriented
visit to India can offer."

Hi Sharad,
I must say that the whole experience from the booking (which can be a little
daunting over the internet) to the actual tour was fantastic and handled in
a very professional and thorough way - The 'Temples and Tiger Tour' which I
basically followed was superb, each place being incredibly interesting with
the reassurance that all reservations and more importantly transfers to the
various airports, train stations and hotels are taken care of, which were absolutely
faultless - Thank you!
I have also passed on your business card and my commendation to the TCI representative
here at Uhde India Limited Mumbai. I hope he will be able to refer more clients
to Nature Safari.
Best of luck in the future and thank you for a wonderful holiday.
Kind Regards,
John Barker
Dear Sharad,
Tiger, tiger, tiger, we met a tiger! Unbelievably beautiful tiger is in front
of us, 5m ahead of us. He watched me, and I watched him.
I visited several national parks in India, of course including Ranthamnbore.
But I had the best experience in Bandhavgarh National Park. Much more chances
to see tigers, good trail to the Fort learning Hindu gods and history, and a
nice friendly lodge, Tiger Den Resort. We all enjoyed staying Tiger Den Resort.
With beautiful gardens, spacious rooms with hot water and especially the foods
were excellent. Shailendra and all the staff at the Resort were so kind and
helpful. We saw tigers every day. Sharad, thank you very much for all your efforts
and services. You are the most reliable operator in India. I organized the tour
to India so many times, and I feel getting tired of it. But I would like to
come back here again next year. It is worth spending so much time and money.
It is worth traveling a long way by train to Bandhavgarh.
We had a slide show after dinner at the Forest Lodge by the naturalist, Ansar
Khan.

As promised, our thoughts on our trip to do with as you please... Travelling
with two young children in India for the first time we were delighted to see
so much wildlife and enjoy such a wonderful experience during our two weeks.
Our itinerary was so well organised as to make the whole trip unforgettable.
The efficiency, consideration and friendliness of the Nature Safari and Tiger
Den staff, especially, made us feel that we were amongst friends and made the
wonderful experience of seeing tigers in the wild all the more enjoyable. I
would recommend a similar trip to anyone, without reservation and will definately
be booking through Nature Safari again.
It is great to know you can trust someone to organise things exactly the way
you want, especailly when travelling as a family.
Hope this is helpful.
All the very best
John Knighton
Greetings from cold & wet Nairobi. As promised please find below our testimonial
in regards to our safari in India
"We came with a focus on seeing the World's biggest cat in the wild & where
it belongs. Living in Kenya we are used going on safari & being amongst wild
game but India's wilderness is a whole different scene. Thanks to the Nature
Safari's team we were able to experience this timeless wilderness with the Tigers.
Our arrangements were well handled & we would recommend their services to all
who want to see India's wild side. We will definitely come back! "
With best regards,

Hello Sharad
I am home again now after my great trip in India with Patrick and Munir and
your organization. I thought it great and enjoyed every minute of it the buildings
and sights of the cities visited were most interesting and I enjoyed the architecture
and all we saw. The country side we traveled through and of course the reserves
that we went to and it is always a delight to me to see the wild animals [ Margaret
@ I saw 7 Tigers road the elephant and got a good bird list too and to be out
of hotels and in the country side. Thank you very much for everything and your
gifts to each of us when we departed on our travels from Delhi. Kind Regards,
