In his regime
It was the season of summer and we were on an evening safari. The jungle zone, allocated to us was very vast and we had scanned for each waterhole for Tiger, but summer heat was at its peak so we couldn't locate a single tiger. Meanwhile we had a news from another guide that there was a tiger resting under a cave nearby a waterhole but not visible from the route. We had no other chance of sighting so, we decided to stay there and wait until the tiger came to drink water. After waiting for almost 1.5 hours there was no single sign of the tiger. The sun was getting down and the safari time was about to end. Suddenly, there was a movement in the bush and a majestic body came out of the dark. We were stunned as it was a huge male sub-adult tiger. Instead of making the direct path to the waterhole he climbed up to hill and again rest there for couple of minutes. It was against the sunlit and I was able to make couple of silhouette images which I was wishing for a long time.
