India is the only country where photographers can experience and photograph Tigers, Leopards, and the world’s last remaining population of wild Asiatic Lions in one single tour. This itinerary for the Big Cats of India Photography Tour was built around this extraordinary fact, and around the idea that each location gives a unique backdrop for your lens.
The next destination for your Big Cats safari in India is Bera’s Jawai, known as the Leopard capital of India. The landscape here is something else entirely. Open granite outcrops rising from Rajasthan scrubland with no trees for leopards to hide behind, give photographers exceptional visibility and some of the finest leopard photography opportunities in the country.
And the third wildlife destination of the Big Cats of India Photography Tour is Gir National Park. There are fewer than 1000 Asiatic Lions remaining on earth and all of them in this one forest in Gir. For photographers seeking diversity, Gir National Park is a valuable addition to India wildlife photography tours, offering exceptional opportunities to photograph wild Asiatic Lions alongside a rich variety of other wildlife.
Ranthambore National Park in eastern Rajasthan is a popular destination for capturing tigers in your Big Cats of India Photography Tour. Rugged hills, open forests, and ancient ruins create one of India’s most visually striking photography backdrops for photographing tigers. The park consists of multiple scenic lakes such as Padam Talao, Malik Talao, and Rajbagh Talao. These water bodies act as the perfect spot for spotting wildlife & tigers giving photographers ample opportunities along with a scenic landscape to capture tigers in the wild.
Bera is the most unusual leopard photography location in India and also the most rewarding. What makes it a unique addition to any photography safari in India for capturing Big Cats is that this is not a national park, unlike other destinations. There are no strict zone rules, no entry permits restricting access. The Jawai landscape is defined by enormous granite boulder outcrops rising from flat Rajasthan scrubland, and the local leopard population has adapted to living almost entirely on and around these rocks. There is no forest to disappear into. When a leopard climbs a boulder at dawn, it is completely in the open.
A Big Cats photography safari in India is incomplete without Gir National Park, which is the only place on earth where you can photograph a wild Asiatic lion. That fact alone makes it essential for any serious wildlife photographer. But the photographic conditions here are also genuinely excellent. The mixed deciduous forest opens regularly into grassland patches and scrub clearings where lions move in the open and the light reaches the subject properly.

We traveled from Canada to India to celebrate a special event, and Jungle Revives turned it into an unforgettable journey. The team guided us in selecting the perfect reserve and coordinated all transfers effortlessly. The safari itself was amazing - we spotted tigers multiple times. Our guides were experienced and made each drive engaging and exciting. One of the most memorable moments was a stunning birthday dinner set up under the stars, adding a truly special touch to the trip. I highly recommend Jungle Revives!
I am from South Korea, and our group of six booked a safari tour with Jungle Revives. Initially we were unsure — being in a new country with a new operator can feel challenging. But this turned out to be our most memorable and beautifully planned trip to date. Every communication and daily schedule was perfectly coordinated. Mr. Shishir called us every evening to check how our day went — that level of personal attention truly made us feel valued. The accommodations were luxurious and far beyond what we expected.
For personal reasons, we unfortunately could not travel with Shishir, but I can only recommend the planning process to everyone. He is incredibly professional, responds promptly, and patiently addresses all requests and questions. This way, individual needs and ideas can be implemented.
My 10-day safari covering 4 national parks was very well planned and organised by Jungle Revives. I was worried we might not see any tigers, but we had multiple sightings — especially in Jim Corbett and Kanha. The naturalists were experienced, all stays comfortable and the entire trip went smoothly. Special thanks to Shishir for always being available with prompt responses to every query throughout the trip.
After nearly a year of planning, I finally experienced the safari I had been dreaming about — and it was absolutely worth the wait. Mr. Shishir and his team made the entire journey feel effortless. Across Jim Corbett and Bandhavgarh, our group of five spotted 8 tigers along with incredible wildlife and birds. The guides were knowledgeable, respectful toward wildlife and passionate about conservation. Nothing felt rushed — it felt raw, real and deeply connected to nature.
After planning this trip for quite some time, we finally moved forward with Jungle Revives — and it turned out to be a wonderful decision. Communication was professional, every detail thoughtfully arranged, and small touches like blankets, hot water bags and bird identification books in the jeep made every drive genuinely special. We saw tigers, playful cubs, elephants and a stunning variety of wildlife. A dependable safari company that values communication and attention to detail.
