Sensitive footage: This video shows the death of a lion cub and may be distressing to some viewers.

Shot by our guest Kamal in the Mara Naboisho Conservancy in January 2026, while on safari with Happy Hathi. Mara Naboisho Conservancy boasts of having the highest density of lions in the world!

A herd of buffalo closed in on a lion cub. The pride was there. The adult male was there. And yet, there was almost nothing they could do.

Buffalo are among the most dangerous animals for lions to take on. When they stand together, even a pride can be forced to keep its distance.

The wild is not cruel, and it is not kind. It simply carries on. Sometimes, all we can do is witness it.

But why did the Buffalo herd kill the lion cub?

Because to a buffalo herd, a lion cub is still a lion and a very real threat. One day the lion cub will grow up and take down the buffalo. It is better understood as anti-predator behaviour: removing or attacking a predator when the opportunity arises.

More likely, the lions triggered a strong response and the cub was simply the most vulnerable member of the pride when the herd turned the tables.

We often talk about not interfering with nature, and rightly so. But there are moments when that principle is much harder to live by than to say. For Kamal and his guide, watching this unfold was one of them.

What makes Tadoba special is the sheer range of habitats packed into one reserve, matched with a very high tiger density.

Here, sightings aren’t left to chance they come down to which gate you enter, which trail you take, and which season you choose.

Summer draws tigers to the waterholes, monsoon turns the forest lush and moody, and winter brings crisp mornings with tigers out on the move.

Tadoba doesn’t play favourites, every corner of this forest has its own way of delivering a memorable sighting.

This September, we’re back with Toddler Trails- a slower, gentler safari made for the little ones discovering the jungle for the first time and the grown-ups rediscovering it through their eyes.

No early starts. No rigid itineraries. Just the post monsoon green , unhurried mornings, and the kind of wild wonder that doesn’t need to be rushed.

📍 Tadoba National Park
🗓️ 23–26 September, 2026
