A safari is all about the animals. This one did not disappoint.

Deer and antelope
 |
| Most of the animals we saw were deer and antelope. Here is a spotted deer (doe) and her fawn. |
 |
| For a relatively small deer, spotted deer can have impressive racks of antlers. |
 |
| Same pair of deer, better view of antlers. |
 |
| Sambar were also plentiful. They are large, muscular deer. |
 |
| Their ears were red when backlit. |
 |
| Chinkara or Indian gazelle |
Birds
 |
| Red-wattled lapwings are common throughout India. |
 |
| I left my bird book at home, so I’ll have to try to identify this bird later. |
 |
| Crested Serpent Eagle. We saw two or three of these. |
Crocodile
 |
| A large crocodile viewed from safely across the river. |
Tiger - finally!
After no luck in Bandhavgarh and Kanha in 2015, we finally got to see a tiger -- even if it was a long way off on the other side of the river. |
| We heard a loud splash in the river -- a tiger had shown up and the crocodile decided to leave for the river. |
 |
| After a few minutes, the tiger got up and walked away. |
 |
| Last sighting as he made his way into the forest. |
