The Inception

A brainchild of Mr. Gajendra Singh Rathore, Jungle Camps India has enjoyed an organic evolution to become a collection of four award winning, wildlife and conservation focused lodges that are set amidst the pristine wilderness to help one truly connect with nature.

An Intimate Connection With The Jungle

Founded in 2002 with it’s first lodge Pench Jungle Camp spread over an area of fifty acres of natural forested estate, the founding lodge provided an intimate connection with the jungles. This was followed by the launch of Kanha Jungle Camp in 2018. The interim years provided a learning curve to the team.

Due to the positive feedback and encouragement from the guests and the trade alike, there were more lodges added to the expansion plan -Tadoba Jungle Camp in 2021 and Rukhad Jungle Camp in 2022.

Presently, there are many more exclusive wildlife experiences and lodges in the works.

These luxury with conservation focused camps were set up not only as a business venture but to offer our guests a unique and memorable experience in the most natural and rustic environment. The aim was to offer authentic, responsible and immersive experience to every guest and to showcase the best Indian wildlife and hospitality has to offer.

Each of Jungle Camps’ properties have been meticulously designed to emphasise the pristine nature that surrounds it. Intended for travellers who seek extraordinary in simplicity and luxury in magnificence of nature, we promise a soul-stirring, restorative experience. We aim to preserve the pristine wilderness and to make efforts to continue the thriving community partnerships that we have fostered over the years.

Looking to the future, we continue to work towards our agreed goals. Apart from the bigger lodges in the vicinity of other national parks, there are also plans to develop new properties which are midway between the cities and the national parks or closer to smaller, lesser known sanctuaries. The aim is two fold, to continue delivering the same steadfast experience to the weary travellers on the road where options for good food and facilities are currently missing. Secondly to ease the burden on over populated tourist hot spots by providing other alternatives to act as weekend getaways from the cities. A common purpose that ties all our endeavours is that we are committed to keep adding value to the communities, area and the land where we operate.

why choose us

While we are aware that there are many options for lodges for you to choose from. However we do hope that our great properties, in-depth knowledge of the wildlife of the region and unparalleled hospitality will win you over.

bespoke safari experiences

Our team tailors safari and park suggestions to your interests and time preferences, crafting personalized itineraries and advising on the best safari zones based on sighting information and predictability.

expert tiger trackers & naturalists

Safari in India differs from the African bush; dense foliage and zoned parks require skilled trackers who know tiger patterns. Our Hindi and English-speaking naturalists enhance your wildlife experience on game drives.

lodge estates & biodiverse spaces

Jungle Camps lodges offer secluded, rejuvenating spaces, meticulously designed to blend with nature and provide privacy. Nestled in forested areas, they serve as your sanctuary to unwind from city life.

beyond game drives

While game drives are crucial, national parks in India offer diverse experiences, such as forest stays, nature trails, and cultural visits. Our travel and safari experts craft personalized itineraries to maximize your vacation based on your interests.

Committed To Responsible Tourism

Promoting remote tourism involves serious responsibilities. At Jungle Camps India, we prioritize sustainability, continuously striving to improve. By choosing our lodges and safaris, you support a kinder, more responsible industry.

authentic culinary delights

Jungle Camps India’s culinary philosophy is ‘eat local,’ immersing guests in local culture with menus based on ingredients from our gardens and nearby farmers. We aim to provide delicious, wholesome, and fresh meals, enhancing your vacation experience.

Service And Hospitality

We imbibe the Indian philosophy of ‘athithi devobhava’, a Sanskrit verse which translated literally means ‘guest is equivalent to God’. Practised smiles are replaced with genuine warmth and sincerity and there is a quiet pride at introducing and showcasing our rich wildlife and culture. We aim to deliver a transformative experience where personalised service and hospitality is paramount.

meet the team

Our people are our brand ambassadors. Never exhausting and truly passionate about delivering an unparalleled experience to each and every guest is the cornerstone of our philosophy. There are no practised smiles, only genuine warmth and sincerity and this is what makes our team so special.

our beliefs & commitments

Responsible Tourism means being mindful of the impact that tourism has on the environment, the animals and the people. It means to have a version of tourism that involves and benefits the local communities while at the same time avoiding exploitation of the people, wildlife and the natural environment.

We at Jungle Camps India believe that, while we may be far from perfect but it is crucial to make continuous progress in the desired direction. Sustainability for us is an on-going process of continuous learning and adaptation.

Jal mahal at Pench

Stayed at jal mahal, and the location and service are botth exceptional. Mohit is always there to iron out any issues. Will surely be staying here again. The location is unbelievably beautiful with great opportunities for bird watching and photography

10 out of 10

Great experience at Pench Jungle Camp. Thank you to all the staff for making my stay a memorable one. Built great relationship with them, very friendly and supportive throughout. Planning to visit very soon. Rooms are fabulous, food is good, great ambience and absolutely value for money.


Sandie Williams, Kanha Jungle Camp - Jan 2025

The minute you step into the camp you are transported into a jungle ambience . The main area is located overlooking the pool .The camp manager does his best to take into consideration all your needs . As the camp is about half an hour away from the Muki gate , you are given blankets and hot water bottles for the trip there as it can get a bit chilly in the mornings (March) and on the return a drink of hot lemon and honey to soothe your throat . The drives back and forth gives you a good insight into the rural and village life .The naturalist, Supriya was fantastic and we learnt so much from her.

Dont miss the opportunity to see the planets with the telescope if the skies are clear . The vistas of the sunrise of the kanha jungle are superb .The breakfasts they provide are excellent and you could never go hungry after that . So much food.


Ranjan M, Tadoba Jungle Camp - May 2025

Outstanding experience....for the 6th time in two years

This May 2025 visit is my sixth stay at Tadoba Jungle Camp in the last two years. I have loved this place from my very first stay. The vast rooms with massive floor-to-ceiling glass, the brilliant touch of a second WC in each room, the excellent quality of food served with genuine warmth and all of this packaged together with the most reasonable rates, make TJC a wonderful place to stay when at Tadoba Moharli side.

Staff members and management, led by Yash Rajput, go all out to ensure the guests' comfort. My experience with their in-house Naturalist, Nayan Mondhe, on all seven of my safaris was a learning experience on the details of every Tiger in TJC. Nayan is a natural Naturalist


Akhila Gade, Tadoba Jungle Camp - Apr 2025

Such a beautiful stay 💚
Very good place with beautiful rooms,environment,food and what not 😍
We booked this in the last minute so it was a bit expensive but plan your trip ahead and book before hand to avoid extra costs.
They will also help you with safari booking and give you a guide(Naturalist)at additional cost.
Their hospitality was very warm and friendly, Special thanks to our Naturalist Samrat for his keen insight and for a wonderful guy that he is.
We had very good time and it was worth it !


Manish L, Pench Jungle Camp - Apr 2025

Wonderful Resort to enjoy Pench Tiger Reserve

We had a fantastic time at Pench Jungle camp. The accommodation was really comfortable and spacious, the food was delicious, the staff were friendly and super helpful, and the safaris were a great experience.

Pench Jungle Camp is very close to the core of the National Park, which saves a lot of driving time to and from the action! Sougato was a fabulous guide with a great knowledge of the all the wildlife and the ecology of the forest which was really interesting. We saw three tigers, lots a birds, deer, mongoose, langur, and so much more. Add this to your list of safari destinations.


Sonali Savla, Pench Jungle Camp - Apr 2025

Incredible service, pleasant place, super helpful and lovely staff. The room was amazing and hospitality is top notch!
We went in april month while the heat was too much, they managed to make us feel better after every game drive by serving us wet towels and chilled nimbu pani on arrival❤️
Every meal was excellent and delicious, from breakfast to dinner there was no one dissapointment in food. Its the best place to stay so don’t think twice before booking this property 🙂


Rahul S, Kanha Jungle Camp - Jun 2024

Our Fantastic stay for the 2nd time at Kanha Jungle Camp.

Our 7 night stay at Kanha Jungle Camp was amazing. We have loved the property right from our first visit, the neat clean and spacious room, the dining area, the overall ambience is just fantastic.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Elevated Luxury Canopy with the jungle view and the Balcony overlooking the forest. The location of the Resort is exotic, it leaves one spellbound.

The entire Team, all your staff members are extremely courteous and helpful which makes one feel so comfortable. Such hospitality and warmth is what made visiting your Resort again such a wonderful experience and we definitely look forward to visiting again. It feels like home away from home.
We would like you to please place on record and convey our very best wishes to the entire Team and the Team behind the scene.

Great ambience, great hospitality, great food and an excellent team. Keep up the good work.

We look forward to visiting you again.

Ronit Mukherji, Kanha Jungle Camp - Jun 2024

It was a beautiful and super comfortable stay at the Kanha Jungle Camp for me and my family. It’s a sprawling property with lots and lots of greenery. With butterflies flitting around, lotuses in the ponds, and very unique plants all around, it’s a very well maintained eco-friendly resort.

The staff is amazing, they’re friendly and always ready to help with a smile!

Much much recommended for anyone who’s looking for an affordable stay at a very beautiful resort in the jungle!

The property is very nice and well maintained and the staff is always smiling and very helpful. Mr. Yash Rajput went out of the way to look after our needs. The food, too, was very tasty. The stay was very comfortable. The hotel offered a very well packed and wholesome breakfast whilst we took the early morning safaris.


Parth, Rukhad Jungle Camp - June 2024

Raw and Wild stay in the heart of a Tiger Reserve!

This was an absolutely amazing experience. Nestled right in the heart of the forest are these three camps, having 2-4 rooms each. One of the most intimate stays in the forest inside the buffer zone of a tiger reserve, a completely raw experience, must try for wildlife lovers.
Rooms were clean and nice, views were amazing from the room, we stayed at Jal Mahal, which is made on a waterhole overlook the forest. One can also see wildlife from the room itself. They also have a watchtower where to can spend time. A truly unique experience!

A big thank you to Ketan and Zainab! Also Mohit 🙏🏻

Extremely hospitable and warm people!


Sujay Pathak P, Rukhad Jungle Camp - Sep 2024

Stay is very amazing with the experience in close proximity to the wildlife. Staff is exceptional, jolly and helpful! Food is also very tasty! The lake view from the rooms and nature sounds create an unmatched experience with clear skies in the night being very nice opportunity for star gazing.


Sameer Bawa, Tadoba Jungle Camp - Jul 2024

Fantastic Stay at Tadoba Jungle Camp

Fab location. Very close to the safari gates. Extremely warm staff and very nice rooms. Tadoba Jungle camp has a lot of things going for it. In fact, they can help and curate your whole experience including the safaris and other activities around the area including an experience by the Irai lake. Really enjoyed my stay. Would be back again !!!


Sayona M, Tadoba Jungle Camp - Jul 2024

Hotel is very close to Moharli gate. Had a good experience with cooperative staff. Baby friendly food can be prepared if required. Clean and very spacious rooms. Swimming pool is clean. Wildlife can be sighted from the room balcony. One of the best properties in Tadoba.
