Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh, India is a world-class park for photographing tigers. The best way to travel to Bandhavgarh is by train from Delhi, which takes about 18 hours. While this may sound long, the daily sightings of tigers more than justified the long train ride. This was a jeep safari so I shot all but one of the tigers from a “Gypsy” jeep – the one exception was from the back of an elephant. All the tiger pictures were shot with the Canon EOS 20D and the 100-400 IS lens - handheld. For shooting tigers I recommend a light telephoto lens in the 300-400mm range that can be handheld - preferably with Image Stabilization.
