点评:Having just arrived at the Rawla Narlai hotel, I was warmly welcomed & was offered to participate in their various offer of tours - one of which was the 4x4 safari in search of local wildlife, including elusive leopards.
I was joined by another couple & the 3 of us were sped away in a rather comfortable jeep with an expert driver & the main man - the ranger “spotter” - Sanjay.
After about an hour of seeing crocodiles, camels, pheasants and a multitude of birds, it looked as if I was going to have to buy a “leopard magnet” to mark the experience, as the main character was nowhere to be seen.
But our guides are too experienced to give up easily & by changing our location, we saw our leopard high up on a hill - unmistakable & very exciting.
After he had had enough of us watching him!, he sloped off into the craggy rocks where we lost sight.
We were not finished - the guides wanted to see if they could spot the even more elusive “Sloth Bear”. After a few minutes one appeared outside his cave, again, high up on the hill - we had been very lucky.
The safari was, of course, brilliant & the guides - driver & spotter, professional, friendly & great at their job. - a wonderful & unique experience.

另一对夫妇加入了我,我们三人乘坐一辆相当舒适的吉普车,车上有一位专业司机和主要人员 - 护林员“观察员” - Sanjay。
在看了大约一个小时的鳄鱼、骆驼、野鸡和许多鸟类后,我似乎不得不买一个“豹子磁铁”来标记这次体验,因为主角无处可寻。
但我们的导游经验丰富,不会轻易放弃,通过改变我们的位置,我们在山顶上看到了我们的豹子 - 毫无疑问并且非常令人兴奋。
在我们看够了它之后!它滑进了崎岖的岩石中,我们看不见它了。
我们还没玩够——导游们想看看他们是否能发现更难发现的“懒熊”。几分钟后,一只懒熊出现在洞穴外,同样是在山上高处——我们非常幸运。
当然,这次狩猎之旅非常精彩,导游——司机兼观察员,专业、友好、工作出色——是一次美妙而独特的体验。
