This is the jungle! Here life beats to the rhythms of nature. For the novice these are barely noticeable at first. Nature unfolds her secrets one page at a time. The secret to success is an ability to wait and watch. Reality is far different from the thrills of instant gratification available to the urban dweller through his TV screen. Life in the jungle has its share of thrills and spills; however, these are punctuated with long intervals of calm. To truly understand the wild one needs to disconnect with the world of deadlines and reconnect to the world as god intended it to be.

The summer announces its arrival ‘bright’ and clear on the sunny banks of the Kabini. The river gradually, but steadily recedes, and thanks to the dam’s gates, the water’s released regularly. Read more »
