We recently visited Tadoba in Mid Jan 2023. The experience was extremely hospitable right from the booking experience, very friendly, Dipika ensured that all our custom requirements including that of our kid was taken care! IRAI even upgraded our room due to a minor issue in the booked room just to ensure our visit was memorable. The rooms are excellently maintained , plush and very very clean with all necessary amenities. Cleanliness was a top priority and the whole property's maintenance did not dissapoint us. We are not generally keen to utilize every amenities but being so well maintained , it motivated us to use the swimming pool , special mention to Devanand for his very courteous service there. The sunset point has its own charm and wilderness feel with a great view of the IRAI take and the marshes. Infact , each of the satff , right from the reception , Mr Sitaram, the staff at the dining hall - Nilesh, Saurabh and others were very helpful and ensured our food preferences were well taken care. If you like enjoying your meals at a leisurely pace then IRAI really lets you indulge and relax. The food quality was excellent though with limited choices but I would consider it to be sufficient. The property is undergoing some revamp and expansion but it did not affect our experience as it is spread across a very large area. We also took services of the in-house naturalist Mr Deepak Pate who accompanied us for our Jeep safaris , he is considered a lucky charm if you really want to spot a tiger but his knowledge of the flora and fauna of Tadoba was excellent and it enhanced the whole safari experience ! The charm worked for us as we could pot 6 tigers with a memorable tiger fight and also a thrilling Night safari which he helped arrange for us at the very last minute. I have fondly named him the "Tiger Magnet" after our experience. Overall, it was an excellent and relaxing short trip and the stay at IRAI was just the perfect icing on the cake that we were looking for. We will definitely revisit the place and stay at IRAI again!! THANKYOU…

We travel a lot for wildlife and irai has been one of the best forest stays we’ve done. Spacious rooms, enough lights, big bathrooms, fabulous food, super location and THE BEST STAFF. Everyone in the staff was super cordial and helpful. Any needs and they’d look into that on priority. Food was insane and very knowledgeable team and helpful. Mr Deepak Pate was super helpful and shared a lot of insights about the forest, guided us into a lot of things and we had a blast. Highly recommend a stay at Irai when you visit Tadoba.

We stayed at Irai resort in Dec 2022 and had the best time. The rooms are very clean and spacious. And food was just amazing, staff went above and beyond and took care of us. They also ensured that there was less spicy food available for kids. Special thanks to Chinmay, the staff manager and Mr. Pate our naturalist. And of course seeing a beautiful tiger was cherry on top.

We booked IRAI resort for 2 nights 3 days in December. It was a long awaited trip with my friend and her baby. As soon as we entered the resort we were greeted with kokum sarbat! The check in was smooth, we were given choice of rooms as well. The room we choose was very clean, bed was cozy and bathroom was huge with running hot water. Room had huge windows through which we could see the resort and lovely trees. After resting and freshening up we went for lunch. The food was very amazing and freshly prepared. Lunch and limited but adequate options. The rotis were freshly made and got. It was luxury in a forest. The staff was very supportive and very helpful. Guided us for various activities availible. When we requested for a gypsy at the reception Mr Deepak had called for same before time. Even before our safari we were served tea/coffee/bourvita at 6am! Also our breakfast baskets were nicely placed for us. At the safari gate as well all arrangements were done we didn't need to move a finger. Evening tea, dinner all superceded each other. Post dinner we had a lovely wild life story telling experience from Deepak Sir each day. My friends son was very eager for the same as well. Though IRAI was not our first choice, but the service made the stay exceptional and memorable. Will surely visit the same again. Luxury and Warmth in the chilling weather of December!…

If you want to feel the nature, this is the place to be. Quiet, calm and near a small lake. Staff took care like a family. I went for first time but I felt as if being there many a times before. Nice food too. Small suggestion if you are going to this must visit place just keep ur phone on silent mode and feel the ambience. The birds and clear sky in the night makes you feel human again. You can walk around in nearby village. Thanks Irai from my south east corner of my heart. Will come again for sure and recommend it to my friends.
