 Samode Safari Lodge, Bandhavgarh National Park 

Paying homage to the tribes of Bandhavgarh

This award-winning and luxurious lodge, is set in a remote area bordering Bandhavgarh National Park.

Samode Safari Lodge commands a privileged location on the quieter edges of Bandhavgarh National Park, the best place to spot India’s Bengal tigers. Pathways wind through the tall grass and buildings blend seamlessly into the wilderness. Within the grounds you’ll find four-poster daybeds, an infinity pool and a pampering spa. The communal lounge, exquisitely canopied with rough-hewn log, consists of hand-woven rugs, flickering stone fireplaces and French doors that open up to forest panoramas. During the day, explore the jungle in an open-top Jeep scouring for tigers and picnicking underneath the mahua trees. The lodge is unfenced so you may also encounter wildlife in the grounds.
