The Safari

“The Queen wishes to thank you for your message which you wrote inside a copy of your book, The Safari, which contains photographs taken during Her Majesty’s visit to Ranthambore, India many years ago. Your thoughtfulness in wishing The Queen to have this publication is greatly appreciated.”

“Thank you very much for giving me a copy of your book ‘The safari’ which I have enjoyed reading and have passed on to my grandchildren who are also enjoying it. You and Manjari are clearly tiger enthusiasts. The tiger is one of the national emblems of India and this diary of your trip to Ranthambore National Park, one of the most formidable and beautiful places in India, is sure to evoke fond memories to any who have visited and inspire those who may still want to go.”

“I applaud Sundeep Bhutoria for sharing his adventurous encounters with India’s wildlife through his publication ‘The Safari’. From the stories and photos featured in the book, readers will learn about the wealth of wildlife in India, and importantly about the Bengal tiger – India’s national animal that embodies the strength, grace and dynamism of its people. Readers will enjoy this book and they should feel enriched by Sundeep’s incredible journey through Ranthambore National Park.”

“This book takes us into the heart of Ranthambore, its colourful wildlife, historical buildings and dedicated forest officers. It captures in vivid detail the wait, disappointment, finally the thrill and sheer grandeur of tiger sightings. Each tiger’s name and behaviour pattern is recounted with affection. The writer’s sheer luck of sighting a dozen tigers and cubs also evokes hope for the conservation of this majestic beast in the beautiful surroundings of the Park. As in real life, the writer is a great raconteur taking us on an enjoyable journey!”

“Sundeep’s deep passion for wildlife is only matched with his astounding luck at spotting so many tigers. This book is a commendable effort towards getting our younger generation to develop love for the tiger, our national animal!”

“Concentrating on the reserve forests of Ranthambore, he introduced the legendary tigress Macchli and her family.”
