Stories & Mood

Some moments are not about the rarest sighting or the grandest frame, but about the moods that unfold. The wild carries drama, humour, tenderness, and play — and these are the stories that stayed with us.

Lazy Terror

Humour & Awe A tiger sprawled lazily in the waterbody while three wild boars grazed, blissfully unaware. A yawn — nothing more — and the forest turned upside down. The boars fled in terror, leaving us laughing at the quiet power of presence.
Location: Satpura, Central India

Parental Love

Care & Devotion Paradise flycatcher parents, tireless in their rhythm — feeding chicks, keeping watch, working harder than their delicate beauty suggests. Alert, caring, and endlessly patient, they painted parenthood in the hues of the forest.
Location: Tadoba, Central India

The Groom

Intrigue & Whimsy A deer walked out with forest plumage draped like an accidental crown. Regal or comical, we could not decide — but it was a reminder that even the simplest creatures wear the jungle’s mysteries lightly.
Location: Satpura, Central India

Sibling Love

Play & Innocence Two young tiger siblings in Tipeshwar, tumbling and sparring for hours. We stayed, watching them grow into their stripes, learning strength through play. Those hours felt less like a safari, more like being invited into childhood itself.
Location: Tipeshwar, Maharashtra

Closing Note

Together, these stories became our moods of the wild — from humour to devotion, intrigue to innocence. They remind us that the jungle is not just to be seen, but to be felt in all its shifting emotions.
