After our meeting in Bangalore, we did the 4.5 hour drive down a very nice highway for a 2 night 4 safari break in Kabini Jungle River Lodges to do our tiger safaris and the famous Nagarhole Tiger Reserve, about 200km from bangalore. Arriving at lunchtime, we headed straight out for a pm safari from 3 to 6pm….
