Thursday, 1 December 2016 - Went on early morning and afternoon safaris in Ranthambore National Park in open jeeps, spotted leopards, tigers, wild boars, Mugger crocodiles, Blue Peacocks, monkeys, egrets, and other birds, enjoyed tea breaks during drives, observed a tiger in high grass with a commotion among safari jeeps, and photographed marsh birds and the park's dramatic landscapes.

After a quick bite at 0600 we headed out in open jeeps on safari. It was cold, so we were adorned with blankets and hot water bottles. We went on two safaris each 4 hours long.

We saw a lot of birds and animals. A lot of monkeys
