Mahua Kothi Bandhavgarh - A Taj Safari Lodge

Just go for it and experience the hospitality by Taj Safaris. There is no comparison!!! The cottage , the food , the lighting , the service you will be surprised. You get to experience the jungle , by living in the jungle ! Wonderful experience their Safaris too are special.

The resort is located in the wilderness.Had an excellent stay. All staff were nice and cooperative, special mention to our Chef Mr. Satan for delicious meals and Mr. Kul for insights into local fauna.Rooms were good.We enjoyed our stay thoroughly.

My stay was blissful and relaxing at this stunning, exclusive property. The super friendly staff fulfills every wish, and the amazing, spacious cottages are thoughtfully decorated. The lodge offers a private, exclusive feel, is situated in a breathtaking landscape and is only a short drive away from all different national park zones.

Our time at Mahua Kothi was a dream come true! Ashish was an excellent guide, helping us to understand the trees, birds, flowers and other natural wonders all around us. We saw two tigers which was amazing (especially since they were very near to our jeep). The whole staff was welcoming, helpful and a joy to be around. Dinner spots under the stars, under the bamboo, and out by the field were memorable. I would have loved to have stayed a week, not just the three nights we were there.

We stayed here for three nights and had a wonderful stay. The accommodation is "slightly rustic" but fits in nicely with the jungle location. The room was comfortable and is well equipped - the lack of a television was not an issue but perhaps the management would give consideration of providing internet access in the rooms. The house keeping was excellent and the room was cleaned and refreshed every time we went out. All the staff were friendly and helpful but some stood out and need to be mentioned. Munshi and Promod who are the butlers were caring and welcoming. They ensured that we were always comfortable and safe. Chef Rahul produced some superb food and always ensured that our palates were catered for. Bhola Ram is a very good waiter and ensured that we were well fed - sometimes too well fed! Priyanka, the naturalist is clearly passionate about the jungle and her enthusiasm kept us going through 4 safaris. She got us two tiger sightings - one of which is probably the best we have had in our very many visits to the Indian Tiger Reserves. Apart from the tigers she kept us well informed of the flora and fauna of the forest- her knowledge is remarkable. Like all organisations the ethos of the place is directed by the senior management and Brijesh Saklani has certainly achieved this. He had a very visible presence and spent a lot of time interacting with the guests. We did have an issue during our stay but he dealt with it - showing empathy and understanding. Things do go wrong at times but it is how these are resolved that is important and for that we are grateful All in all it was an excellent stay and we will certainly be happy to return.

The mud huts were fantastic, just no WIFI, but very quiet and well appointed. The food was excellent and worth the visit to see so many wild animals in their habitat. The people are wonderful and very helpful. Highly suggest the visit to anyone who loves animals!
