March is a genuine crossroads month for us, spanning three very different continents & photographic disciplines. Here’s what’s running.
Why does our tiger season start in March?
Majestic Bengal Tigers of India starts our tiger season, & March is when rising heat pushes Bengal tigers towards waterholes more predictably, genuinely useful for a photographer rather than left to chance. Wildlife of Kaziranga National Park runs a little later in the season & adds Asian elephants & bar-headed geese to the mix.
Photograph tigers with structure, not luck
Vehicles positioned for photography rather than viewing, & enough time for a composition to develop before the moment passes.

Why is March still a good month for snow in Sweden?
Northern Sweden’s Eagles in Winter still holds proper snow cover this late in the season, with golden eagles working the forest edge alongside Bohemian waxwings & redpolls at feeding stations built specifically for photography.
Why is March a good month for Canada’s northern wildlife?
Wolves, Lynx & Winter Wildlife of Canada is timed for the tail end of proper winter conditions, when Canada lynx, boreal owls & fisher are all still working their winter ranges before the thaw changes their behaviour.
Is March too late in winter for snow-dependent trips like these?
No, both Sweden & Canada are chosen specifically for holding reliable snow this late in the season, which is exactly why we schedule them for March rather than earlier. Conditions are checked every year before departure dates are confirmed.
Which of these March trips should you choose?
Choose India if a tiger is the priority, structured vehicle-based photography with waterhole behaviour becoming more predictable as the month goes on. Choose Sweden for golden eagles & winter finches in genuinely reliable snow. Choose Canada for lynx, wolves & boreal owls at the tail end of true winter conditions.
An apex predator in India, a boreal specialist in Sweden, & a northern forest in Canada, three completely different photographic disciplines sharing the same month.
