“Tiger!” “Tiger!”
Providence Atoll, Seychelles You’re wishing you were somewhere on a river in Africa when you scream these words with jolting rod in hand but the adrenalin coursing through your veins is that of a very different kind – its flight, not fight. Now you find yourself standing almost waist deep in saltwater, separated from your guide and the safety of the boat, and out of nowhere a tiger shark has managed to make its appearance and there is no question why it’s there – it’s because you are there.
