We arrived at Jungle retreat in the evening just after dinner time. We were a little late arriving after a long day's drive from our last stop. We were welcomed and taken to our room. 5 minutes after our arrival there was a knock at the door. "Come,quickly. There are tuskers in the field". We are rushed out a few... More

Night safari was not to productive except for 1 wild elephant, a big male deer and some prying eyes from the bushes... More

Anil the IT techie/naturalist owner is a highlight of a visit here. His passion and tales of encounters with tiger/elephant or leopard are almost as good as any glimpse you may yourself get of these beasts. It overlooks a waterhole frequented by elephants, deer and of course, attendant carnivores. They take you on a night safari in a jeep, up... More

It may not be the most luxurious resort, but what you get there is best wildlife sightings along with just incredible service. Had regular sightings on all 4 days we stayed there, including tiger during night safari. Most of the sightings we had was from the resort itself and especially from the watching point. The service is just great, everyone... More

Stayed here during March 2013 for 3 nights. Wish we had have stayed longer. We stayed in the wooden cottage which was perfect for a relaxing break. The wooden cottage was basic but very clean and perfect to enjoy all the wildlife from the veranda. Meals were plentiful and varied if not always suited to our palate. The filtered water... More

I stayed at Jungle retreat for 2 nights with my family and was initially very skeptical about how we would pass our time in such a quiet place, especially with an active 9 year old. But there is enough and more to enjoy at the resort and the service is exemplary. While the rooms are basic, they are clean and... More
