This place is a gem, very close to the Tala gate of Bandhavgarh national park, just about 5 minutes away. The place is run by Kay and Satyandra Tiwari, both of them have immense knowledge about the nearby forrests and wild-life around them. One should be clear though, it is not a five star property, it is not for people... More

Skay’s Camp is a beautifully landscaped property within a five-minute drive or fifteen-minute walk to the preferred Tala Gate entrance to Bandhavgarh National Park. Birds frequent the property since it is a uniquely green oasis in a residential village. Although basic, the room we stayed in was very large and very clean, with a large bathroom. (Hot water was plentiful,... More

kudos to Satyendra and Kay for the honesty and zeal with which they run their camp- a rarity these days. This place will do justice to those who respect wildlife;those who have other ideas should look elsewhere. A place where the nature enthusiasts (whether amateur or professional) will truly value the invaluable experience of the hosts. A must visit for... More

Satyendra and Kay and the most knoweldable and gracious hosts. This small, simple setting was the perfect place to recover from jet lag and tour the Tala zone. Kay shared her stories of tigers and her magnificent wildlife art with us. Satyendra went on the safri's with us and knew everything. The guides that the park requires get a break... More

We had a wonderful stay at Skay's Camp last January. The room was comfortable and although it was quite chilly at night, the hot water bottle and the blankets kept out the cold. What made our stay special was to be able to listen to Satyendra's and Kay's stories about the park and tigers. Satyendra came on the safaris with... More

Satyendra and Kay made our visit to Bandhavgarph extraordinary! Satyendra was extremely helpful from quick responses to my emails, accommodating when our train was 4 hours late, to remembering my desire to ride elephant hence went out of his way to arrange private elephant rides for us when we arrived! Satyendra and Kay are very knowledgeable and passionate about the... More

What sets this place apart is the hosts. Make no mistake, this is not the Hilton, and Satyendra and Kay will be the first to tell you that. But they make the visit so much more special by their attention to detail and knowledge of the park. The Tiwari's seem to know more about the movement of tigers than all... More

I got in touch with Satyendra ji who lives in Skay's camp to find out more about touring Bandhavgarh and he not only helped make our bookings for park trips but also arranged for our stay in Skay's camp which is named after him and his wife Kay. We had a great time with my wife savoring the trees and... More
