Summary

Summary

After our very successful 'Cricket & Wildlife' tours to South Africa in 2003, 2016 and 2020, and previous 'Cricket & Wildlife' tours to India in 2006 and 2008, and Sri Lanka in 2012, the opportunity to offer this unique combination again presents itself this coming October. With dates and venues for the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup only recently released, we are fortunate that the perfect 'Cricket & Wildlife' combination can be offered. Our 13-day tour will take us to Mumbai to see England vs South Africa and to Bangalore to see the England vs Qualifier 2 matches. We’ll also spend three nights in Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (which is currently providing our best chances of Tiger, Leopard, Sloth Bear, Dhole and Gaur sightings), and three nights at Nagarhole National Park. An optional 3-day extension is available to Fringe Ford, a private plantation in Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary. Please note that there is likely to be a high level of interest in this tour, and to book your place, flights and tickets, we would suggest you reserve your place(s) as soon as possible.
