As I plan my wildlife safari trip to Ranthambore, memories of my first safari trip to Ranthambore (in 2011) flood my mind,

…..The sky-high expectations and excitement of my first wildlife-cum-tiger safari

…..the calmness and serenity of the forest with its many lakes

…..the diversity and beauty of the flora and fauna in the forest

…..the rough and punishing safaris on the tough terrain

…..the alarm calls of animals followed by a nerve-wracking wait in pin-drop silence

…..the gripping suspense in anticipation of a tiger-sighting

…..my first attempt at wildlife photography

…..the intense disappointment of not sighting a tiger

And last but not least

…..the thrill and adrenaline rush of sighting the majestic tiger in the wild
