India
Kanha Tiger Reserve
This world-class lodge has 12 cottages and 2 forest bungalows designed with the forest habitat and wildlife in mind.
The dining room is located at the heart of the lodge. You will find a variety of dining options and a bar serving a range of continental and Indian dishes, alongside fresh, homemade fare. The chef uses fresh organic produce from the lodge's own farms, such as fruit and vegetables.
Given its proximity to Sal forest, grasslands and waterholes, the lodge serves as a gathering point for the forest's inhabitants, including large herds of Chital, Wild Boar, Northern Plains Langur, Indian Muntjac and Jungle Cats. The occasional visit from a leopard or tiger is not out of the question either.
The lodge also features a spa and an outdoor pool, where you can unwind after a safari in the national park accompanied by the lodge's naturalist guides. Singinawa is also home to the Kanha Museum of Life and Art, housing a collection of indigenous art inspired by the surrounding natural landscape.
The lodge offers tailor-made activities for children, adapted to different age groups. At Singinawa, children take part in traditional games such as gulli-danda, kabaddi, and gulel (catapult), play marbles, learn pugmark identification, plaster-casting techniques, jungle sign reading and kite-flying. Activities such as making rangoli with calendula flowers bring them closer to traditional Indian culture.
The 12 slate and stone cottages feature a queen-size bed, a rain shower, a bathtub, a fireplace and a minibar, as well as air conditioning, a coffee/tea maker and lounge chairs. Each spacious cottage sits in a secluded area surrounded by trees, offering exclusive privacy and views over the grasslands.
