Bhakti Kubavat, who recently “spotted tigers in the wild for the first time”, says that she was “thrilled about the entire experience.” The Vitamin She and Lapet actress, who visited the Satpura Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh with her family, shares, “I had visited the Ranthambore National Park earlier but did not spot any tigers there. This time, we got lucky and I got goosebumps when I spotted these majestic animals. A safari is not just about experiencing wildlife. It’s also about reconnecting with your own self and nature. Such family trips are very important to create everlasting memories together. We also spotted wild boars and other animals during the safari. The way other animals alert each other when a tiger is around is so fascinating! The whole experience was beautiful.”

Bhakti adds, “It’s like watching Taj Mahal for the first time. You may have seen so many photos, but when you actually see a tiger, the feeling can’t be described in words. During summer, there is always a higher probability of spotting tigers, especially near the water bodies. We were lucky to spot R2, a huge male tiger. We also saw Laila (a tigress) with two of her cubs. Spotting four tigers at the same time is rare and we were extremely lucky. They were playing and swimming in the water, and it was an experience of a lifetime. It’s a huge jungle and we had a great time during both the safaris (morning and evening).”
