Our jeep kept on moving further so that we can get the maximum shots and good viewing angles

At this moment, Prince was almost about 40~50meters from our vehicle and I was able to get these head on shots

It was a great feeling to see the Tiger so close

At this spot, Prince decided to cross the mud track again and go on to the other side as the waterbody was on that side of the mud track. This was behind our jeep and was almost about 50-60meters only !! Wow what a feeling it was...

At this point, Prince stopped for few seconds and gave us a great pose!! Thanks.


Suddenly one of the jeep's behind Prince go too close to him and he really got pissed off and gave a real scare to them before moving on.

 Prince, the great !

Prince then crossed the road and while he was crossing the road, one of the jeeps got too close. By observing this it stopped and looked back at the folks in that Jeep, gave them a deep scare and then moved on toward the water hole.

 Prince, walking towards the water body - what an appearance !!

We all moved towards the waterhole area expecting him to be coming there and giving us some amazing opportunity to shoot good pictures and you know what, we were obliged. After few moments, Prince appeared from the bushes and sat into the muddy water to him himself off that scorching heat.

It was a great moment and a great opportunity for all of us in the jeep to photograph him cooling himself or even just to see the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger from so close (130~150 meters). Prince stayed there for almost about 8~9 minutes giving us enough time to click pictures. Even though we had good time, but I guess no one ever stopped clicking (listen to the shutter sounds in the video attached). I almost took about 400+ shots in about 25mins of the sighting.
