This was by far the most amazing trip I have ever taken. Everything from the Hotels to the Preserves were top notch! I was so humbled by the experience and so amazed by the knowledge of the guides. They took the time to help us experience not only the amazing Tigers but every other animal and sunset and tree and pond and foliage! I felt like I was in the jungle and not just an observer. I knew I was in good hands. The first time I saw a Tiger and took pictures I had to stop, the guide then took my hand and gave me the binoculars and said….just look…this is more important…and I looked through the glass and saw the Tiger and cried. It was magical, simply magical!

The most unforgettable journey of discovery and of a lifetime.
We booked this to mark a special celebration – my 70th year as well as something totally different.
The excitement and expectation ignited by Graham our desire to photograph the wild – animals, architecture country and people, visiting a country never been to before.

I can honestly say Graham and team delivered consistently with a true passion on every count; as well as being the expert photographer he is, was such a tremendous bonus to learn and hear all his experiences, and encouraged to create something special.
Deepti’s knowledge intermingled with Grahams flair provided everything you wanted.
Especially as I use a Nikon, it was wonderful knowing Graham could help, as and when needed.

It was an utterly unique experience & journey of discovery, I do not believe you will find an experience anywhere else that produces as comparable journey as ours.
We made it ours, shared and gelled together as a group, supported along the way by Graham, and directed by Deepti perfectly – so much fun and laughter- an extremely personal experience.
Every detail of our day catered for, food, personal hygiene, photography, internet, taking images, downloading images, what to wear, cost of things, so many things, times meals just everything you needed.

Not only did we discover the animals of the stunning national parks – Bandhavgarh and Jhalana, but also everything else about India 🇮🇳 – food, culture, history, local people – also to feel a part of a special party, meeting Grahams family in Agra, eating together, the laughter and joy of sharing this journey together.
The Jeep teams were just tremendous, so much fun and enjoyment, gleaning their special local knowledge, actually meeting local people awesome.
All this provided a very moving and personal touch to every single day.

Onward via the train to Agra, and seeing Agra Fort & Taj Mahal, going afterwards to Jaipur, for Jhalana’s stunning Leopards.
Magical hotel Alisair Jaipur, step back in time, once home to Maharajas, absolutely loved it, and would loved to see more of majestic Rahjastan, a fantastic excuse to return.
One could wax lyrical forever, not enough superlatives to say, except, if you were thinking about doing it, just go for it, you would never regret it.
Quite simply the best wildlife Safari and tour journey.

Many thanks to Graham Tweed, 100% asset to Nikon.

In terms of organisation of the ‘Out of town Images’ website – can I suggest an itinerary, day by day be provided on the website, just useful, interesting and helpful to be informed ahead of time what will happen each day – I say this just as an observation.

Many thanks

What a trip!  Absolutely fantastic.

Graham Tweed is so good at encouraging you to not only experience the wildlife in Bandhavgarh and Jhalana but also the cultures surrounding those areas as well as visiting the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort of Agra.  We visited Preeti Verma’s Handicrafts & Textile shop in Agra, where we were so welcomed and had a lovely time there and went out to lunch with the family as well as visiting the marble shop next door.  Our dinner with the family at night was so special and we were made to feel at home, again how honoured were we?  In Jaipur there is so much to see but we only went to the Jantar Mantar which was fascinating though a tad hot – our journey to get there down the back streets showed us life as it is.  We went to a bazaar which was fun and thoroughly enjoyable and we tried Kulfi – thoroughly recommend.

As to all the tigers and leopards we saw, just incredible and to see the wild elephants bathing, wow!  What a photographic experience.  To see a kill and a tiger family eating their kill, how lucky were we?  On top of that there is the plethora of animals to watch and photograph, too many to mention.  Each safari just outdid the other the whole way through.

Our accommodation at Bandhavgarh and the food and staff, just perfect.  The hotel in Agra was lovely and very pleasant, however the Alsisar Haveli was so beautiful and an oasis of calm from the noise outside. Graham and Deepti were so good at encouraging us to try traditional indian food and making it so easy for us to do so.

I should mention the train from Katni to Agra, that was such fun – yes maybe the loos are not the best but that can be the same the world round.  We managed to sleep, see the countryside and enjoy each other’s company and a tremendous amount of laughter!

We were looked after so well by Graham and Deepti, can’t thank them enough.  What an experience and frankly I doubt anyone could do it better to show us the Colours of India and what it has to offer.

kind regards

Tracking jaguars along the river banks deep in the Pantanal is an experience that will stay with me forever.

Joining Graham to capture wildlife from giant otters to big cats on his daily excursions is some adventure. We managed to get within four metres of a young male jaguar and sit with him on our own for over half an hour.  Almost daily we’d closely follow a mother on a hunt as she waded in and out of reeds, climbed through roots of jungle trees along the river bank stalking caiman crocodiles.

To understand the mind of a wildlife photographer and see what it takes to get incredible sightings and photographs, I 100% recommend joining Graham. It was an absolute dream come true and privilege to watch jaguars doing what they do deep in the wild Brazilian jungle and to spend quality time in their beautiful world.
