TIGER TOPS...WITHOUT THE TIGERS!

Part of the fun of staying at tiger tops was the accommodation. The Children loved the giant tree house but most of the fun was time spent in the Elephant camp and making "elephant sandwiches". Not quite the culinary experience one would expect...they were for the elephants. But by the way the guide described them you would think he was trying to sell them to us for human consumption..."A tasty combination of rice and chick peas wrapped in tender elephant grass..." yummmmmm!

We went on two safaris on the backs of elephants but not a tiger in sight. They saw us apparently. there were plenty of endangered Asian one horned rhino, on cow with her calf, wild boar and plenty of deer and bird life.

The most memorable experience for the children was the 3 month old baby elephant, and feeding those elephant sandwiches to the adult elephants.
