Kings Lodge

Top choice in Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh

Superplush cottages on stilts are hidden among dense foliage in a quiet buffer-zone setting. Rooms are luxurious, without being over the top, and the Indian meals are generous and delicious.

Every evening there are drinks around a campfire and either a talk or film on an aspect of the park and wildlife. There's a superb swimming pool, quality safari 4WDs, and very experienced and knowledgeable naturalists accompany guests on safari. The company behind it supports numerous community and conservation projects. Check out the on-site butterfly garden and organic veggie patch.
