Sightings were thin on our dates, which is luck, but the drives felt rushed. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

West Bengal was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Recommended.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. No hesitation recommending them.
