Ring, ring, ...
Me: Hello?
He: Sir, there was a cancellation at the last minute. Do you want to join the tour this weekend?
Me: Send me the payment link!
Thus starts an improptu tour of Kabini. I don't need a second invitation to go there, in fact I don't need any invitation! It is my second home after all. The call is from Toehold, one of the best wildlife tour operators in the country. Apparently, someone has cancelled their booking for whatever reason and the co-ordinator checks if I'm interested. It's been a long time since I went to Kabini with Toehold, almost all my trips in the last three years have been with friends or family. It will make a nice change to go with a group of dedicated photographers again. Leading the tour is Jayanth Sharma, co-founder of Toehold and photographer extraodinaire. Look up his work when you have the time.
