Elevated Luxury Cottages
A sanctuary to unwind & reset
Surrounded by lush green forests, the lodge has been designed to maximise the engagement with the natural environment. The cottages are elevated to provide better views of the banks of the Lake which serves as a waterhole for many wild animals. The guests have exclusive access to two viewing decks – one as a balcony outside their cottage and another at even a greater height inside the cottage itself.
Tastefully done interiors against the panoramic views of the lake are a visual treat. The space design response is articulated through bringing the existence of six wild animals found in Tadoba National Park. The interiors too represent the interpretation of the dedicated animal to the room. A nurturing space which cocoons you in its warmth and quietude, this is truly a getaway that you need to escape from the hectic pace of the every-day life.

Jungle Safaris
Game drives inside Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve are the soul of your trip. Tadoba is one of the famous parks in India, known for its high probability of sighting the Royal Bengal Tiger in the wild. The current number of tigress with cubs inside the national park too is high making multiple sightings almost a surety. Tadoba Jungle Camp’s unrivalled location is an added advantage as it is situated in proximity to one of the most popular gates, Moharli. Drive deep into the wilderness of the tiger reserve so you can witness the animals in their natural habitat. There are three types of game drives available during the day: 1. Jeep Safari The guests are seated in a 4x4 gypsy with open rooftops to allow for an enhanced experience. The jeep safari can seat upto 6 individuals including a driver and a park guide. In an effort to provide employment to the local population, there is a government regulation that safaris are operated by the locals. The in-house naturalist can accompany the guests on prior booking, however they will go as an additional guest themselves and will occupy a seat in the vehicle. The jeep safari tickets open 120 days in advance. 2. Canter Safari Incase you are unable to get the jeep safari booked, there is yet another option to go inside the park with Canter Safari. Canter is basically a mini bus with open roof. It has a capacity to seat appx. 18- 22 people which means that you will be sharing this safari with others. The tickets for the canter safari are available online 15 days in advance. 3. Full Day Safari for Wildlife Photographers Meant for wildlife photographers and enthusiasts who wish to spend a greater time in the jungles, this safari allows you to be inside the core zone of the park from dawn to dusk. For full day safaris, entry is allowed 15 minutes before the scheduled opening time and 15 minutes after the scheduled closing time. Only 3 full day vehicles are allowed in a day so do ensure that you book your safari in advance. You need to book a regular jeep safari (morning or evening safari) for the day on which the entry is required. After the booking confirmation, you need to apply for full day safari to the office of the Field Director.

Night Safaris
Deepen the discovery of the jungles of Tadoba, as you opt for a night safari. Available in the Junona Gate barely 5 kms from the lodge, night safaris are a great way to enhance your overall experience of the park. This is an opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts to view the elusive nocturnal animals in their habitats. Introduced fairly recently, night safaris in Tadoba have become popular for their sightings of the leopards and tigers too.
Cycling
Ride through picturesque trails inside the lodge’s eco park or go further for various excursions in the adjoining villages or the buffer zones of the park itself. Guided cycling excursions are low impact activities which allow the physically fit and adventurous guests to explore the area at their leisure. Picnic baskets with packed food and refreshments can be carried on prior bookings.
Guided Nature Trails
Add a greater depth and dimension to your jungle experience with the guided nature trails. Accompanied by the park guide you will venture into the buffer zones of Tadoba namely Sitarampet trail or Agarzhari trail. These walks give you a chance to observe the nature at close quarters. If you have any specific areas of interests like birds or flora, do let the park guides know.
Boat Safari
The forest department of Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve also conducts boat safari in the backwaters of Lake Irai. Tranquil waters, mesmerising views and a host of wetland and migratory birds along with wildlife that comes to the edge of the water is a unique experience indeed. The safari can be booked for a duration of 1-3 hours.
Kayaking
Paddle in the tranquil waters of Lake as you can witness the wetlands and the birds from a distance. Due to the presence of waterbodies, one can often spot many wetland and migratory birds in the region. We take all the measures to make it a safe activity for you, therefore there are many precautions and restrictions that apply.
Butterfly Garden
Tadoba is a true delight for all wildlife and nature enthusiasts due to it’s rich biodiversity. The government and park authorities have created a butterfly garden - ‘Butterfly World’ to conserve the butterfly population. Butterflies are an important indicator of the environment. A mixture of host plants and the plants the butterflies feed on have been strategically planted to attract them. Over 80 species have been recorded including the state butterfly of Maharashtra – the Blue Mormon ( Papilio polymnestor) Spread over five acres of land in the Agarzari village, this garden also helps in educating visitors about the importance of species beyond tigers. Learn about the life cycle of butterfly and many other interesting facts at the interpretation centre, Visitors can also see the butterflies in close proximity inside the glass house. Providing employment to the local population, it is run primarily by the local youth thus overall assuring that local people are invested in conversation while they also benefit economically.
Machan Stays Inside The Forests
A true immersive experience inside the tiger country, this allows all the wildlife lovers to spend a night inside the forests of Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve. An ode to the traditional ‘machans’ which were elevated structures used for viewing wildlife, rustic log huts have been made above the check posts of the forest departments. As the sun sets into the horizon and night descends making the forests dark and your line of sight limited, you rely a lot on your hearing. The sounds of nocturnal birds can be heard at a distance interspersed with the alarm calls announcing the movement of a predator like tiger or leopard. This sure is an experience that is not for the weak hearted. These are simple and rustic accommodations and prior reservation is recommended. There is a toilet facility available too. We suggest packing an overnight kit containing additional clothing as per the season along with food and water.
Sundowners
Sundowners near the banks of Lake Irai are a sight to behold. Watch the sun sink behind the horizon as it casts its rose gold glow across the waters of the lake. The sky turns into the hues of red and pink and slowly everything seems to quiet down after the exciting safari of the day. Accompanied by refreshing beverages and delicious bites, you watch the spectacular sunset in the horizon. An iconic safari experience filled with quiet contemplation and calmness.
Star Gazing
A night watching the star gazing is as humbling as it gets. Unlike the city skies which are hazy due to light and air pollution, the night skies in the wilderness are spectacular. The lodge houses the state of art telescope that can be set up at designated areas of the lodge itself for your star gazing experience.
