Wanna work as a Naturalist ?

If any of you want to work as a Naturalist with one of the best wildlife company in India, then drop me a mail. Sarath, who was the one who offered me a job as a naturalist is looking for people for his new company Taj Safaris which is working in partnership with CC Africa.

I have seen what they do, and sometimes I myself still get tempted to go there and join as a Naturalist. The pay is very decent, no previous wildlife experience needed ( just some interest as they will do the training) and some of the worlds top guys from all walks of life land up at the lodge.

Drop me a mail if anyone is interested.

Update : Since so many people have asked me this, here’s some more info. The location will be either in Bandhavgadh, Pench, Kanha, Panna or Corbett. The training starts in May and you start working from Aug-Sept and yeah, its a full-time job.

    yea

    Yea! You managed one finally and a really good one at that! But the damn digital camera shutter will stay open only 30 mins at a time right? If you want the whole circle, next time you might be able to try starting the next exposure as soon as the first finishes and so on until the end? The images can be aligned in post process. It means that you have to be up all night, plus leave off the noise reduction option in the camera….
    anyway, neat pictures 🙂

    An Opportunity

    Hi Kalyan,

    I am just one of those normal wild life people who enjoys spending time in the wild and make sure I do whenever I get a chance. The chance to actually get paid to do something you like to do is a rare, however everything in life is worth a try. It would be great if I could get a chance to take this up. Please could you help me in trying out for the job. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please Mail me @ wilderness4me@gmail.com
    thanks,
