Jungle Camps India

Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve and Tadoba Jungle Camp

A high density of tigers along with best forest tracks and a high prey base makes Tadoba National Park one of the best places to see the tigers in the wild. Once a lesser known park, Tadoba has slowly become a favourite of the wildlife enthusiasts and photographers alike due to its spectacular sightings. Covering a vast expanse of over 1700 sq. km., it’s diverse habitat ranges from dense woodlands to rivers and water-bodies, interspersed with riparian forests, marshes and towering hills. The park is also home to other mammals like Indian Leopards, Dhole, Striped Hyenas, Jackals, Sloth Bears, Gaur, Nilgai, Sambhar Deer, Barking Deer, Chausingha, Spotted Deer and Honey Badgers. This park is also a delight for bird watchers with over 280 species of avian population including some of the endangered ones too.

Your stay in Tadoba will be arranged at Tadoba Jungle Camp. Our well appointed 12 eco-luxury cottages are a seamless extension of the undulating landscapes. Surrounded by lush green forests on three sides and overlooking the banks of Lake Irai on the fourth, the lodge offers an ideal secluded experience to relax and rewind. The cottages has been designed with roof to floor glass and a private deck, to give a vantage view of the lake and to be able to sight the wildlife who often come to quench their thirst.

Additionally, Tadoba Jungle Camp is located near the Moharli gate of the park. This deserves a special mention as Moharli and Tadoba zones are the most sought after zones due to a higher probability of sightings, both of which are accessible from our lodge. Since Tadoba is quite a large park, the gates are at quite a distance from each other therefore one must stay in the lodges near the desired park gate. Choose from our bevy of cultural and wildlife experiences which can be customised based on your interests.
