Taj Safaris' third jungle safari lodge is situated along the banks of the Banjaar River, directly overlooking the heart of Kanha National Park. The luxurious, yet lightweight, ensuite tents have been designed in a contemporary style, with pressed bamboo wall panels, gorgeous bamboo floors and locally crafted furniture hewn from the timber of exotic Indian trees. The textiles have been designed in tones of delicate saffron and acid-washed green, with rich block-printed Madhya Pradesh cottons and silks. The atmosphere is light, ethereal and organic. The lodge boasts two elegant camps of nine suites, each with its own intimate tented sitting area. Banjaar Tola has its own unique identity, celebrating the Bastar and Dogra art that hails from nearby Chattisgarh.

Words can't describe the experience at a taj safari lodge. After last year's splendid experience at mahua kothi bandhavgarh we decided to visit banjaar tola and kanha and it exceded all our expectations. The location itself is so captivating and serene that you can spend hours, aimlessly lounging at the deck in your rooms overseeing the beautiful banjaar river. A great amount of wildlife can be seen in the property and the rooms itself. one can spot various deers, langoors, many species of birds around the property. Every minute thing that one can imagine is taken care of, be it the warm welcome by the entire staff whenever you enter and leave the lodge, the impeccable room service, game drives, the most stunning outdoor locations for candlelight or i must say lantern lit dinner amongst the jungle, and even the sweetest local security guard who accompanies you to the rooms at night. Chefs ajit and Neem went out of their way to provide us meals from different cuisines. All the butlers are efficient, courteous and with a smile on their face. They keep you entertained with many wildlife stories. there is even a spa and a pool where you can relax after a game drive.
And finally a special mention to our naturalist Mr Gurunath, he is so passionate about his work and is a true believer of wildlife conservation. He made each of our safaries so memorable and informative that even though we couldnt spot a tiger we have zero regrets. He helped us spots various deers, langoors, wild boars, jackals, blackbucks and so many species of birds which made us city dwellers appreciate the true beauty of the jungle and wildlife and not just drive around to spot tigers.

An absolute gem of a location, Banjaar Tola is located on the banks of Banjaar river in the buffer-core zone border of the Kanha National Park, very near to the mukki gate entrance. Lush forest all around, this non-fenced property sees fauna entering into the property regularly. Staff, food, safari excursion naturalists are all beyond courteous and polite. There were many kids in our group, and they too throughly enjoyed at Taj Banjaar tola. Aside from the forest department guest house located within the core zone, Banjaar tola is the best private place one can stay in without any second thoughts. Will highly recommend to all and will definitely make a trip again very soon.

We stayed at Taj Banjar Tola between Dec 14-21. We were traveling with a 10m old baby and hence were apprehensive of planning this trip. On arrival, our worries became stronger when we found that the usual kid friendly options like high-chair in the restaurant or play area, were notably absent. However the thoughtfulness and warmth of the entire staff more than made up for this and we ended up having a very memorable stay! We will certainly return once our child is a little older

Sharing a few callouts:
Ashutosh, Rajkumar, Pappu, Karan from the restaurant, butler teams who were very helpful with every aspect of the stay and very caring of the baby
Chef Rahul for a lip smacking menu. The restaurant team had a mastery of all types of cuisine, which was amazing. Special thanks for making kid friendly, tasty options for our 10m old
Dasarath from the security team for escorting us on the walks
Abhishek for the interesting nature walks and tiger safari. His instincts helped us spot a tiger in the first safari! He was so thoughtful of our requirements in planning every detail
Subhay for helping us secure a last min permit for the tiger safari

Hello,

Taking this opportunity to write a feedback for Taj safari Banjaar Tola. To start with it was a wonderful trip and we had a good time at the safari lodge. The team did all the best they could have done in the summer season where in the weather was hot and dry.
Taj is known for its food and we could not have it better than what we had right from pizzas, pastas, local delicacies, special on request diet food and the range of dessert which had after every meal. The chef Nim spelled his magic every time we had our meal. A chef cum wildlife enthusiast, was always ready make new dishes and took a great care of our cravings and taste. His team of butler from karan, Karanveer and others were fully dedicated to their job and provided good service.
The team of Naturalist were the ones we would like to share our thoughts. Starting with Sangita, a dedicated naturalist with detailed knowledge on wildlife and our go to person at the property. She made our trail walk a walk to be remembered amidst woods. She was the reason for our delight even in the odd weather and issues relating to hot spell. Namrata the other naturalist ensured we had a good sighting of 2 tigers and served us breakfast in middle of forest (designated place). Abhishek also the naturalist ensured we have a good sighting of 3 tigers along with many other wild creatures. His knowledge about the wildlife put us in awe and we had a nice evening safari along with the history and characteristic of different flora and fauna.
The manager at the hotel Mr. Rashmikant ensured we kept our cool in the hot surroundings and made us feel just like at home. The best thing about this place was all of the staff coordinated and relentlessly worked towards one goal and that is to cater us in a better way. We cannot forget the complimentary safari and serving our guests at the hotel in the most memorable setup. The Gond and mandala paintings we got from the hotel store will keep our memory for all the times to come. The surprise dinner and local market visit just added to our wish list for the vacation.
We could not have a better experience of the jungle in terms of sighting if we have not turned up in this time. The choice of season was may be wrong but the choice of the venue as Banjaar Tola was apt as per our requirement of a stay amidst nature.
Maybe that’s why the coming long weekend to make the season good we have planned a stay at the Taj Bekal, hopefully the weather will be good.
Finally we had the best of our time at the Banjaar Tola and the staff made it a memorable one.
Thank you Taj for serving us and awaiting a new holiday coming this weekend at Taj Bekal.

Regards
Jay Shah

We had a wonderful time at Banjaar Tola in end March 2023. The views of the river from the dining area and the rooms is really lovely. The rooms themselves are large, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We really liked the aesthetic of the rooms and the expansive views that you got right from the bed !
All staff that we interacted with went above and beyond to make our stay better. We had some dietary restrictions and the chef was super accommodative in making sure we had a lovely meal every time. The desserts were especially delicious and one night they organised an open air dinner for all guests, which was really nice.
Our naturalist, Anand, was a treasure trove of information and we had a great time (including tiger sightings) with him on all our drives and nature walks.
Overall, we have no complaints and only good things to say about this property!

This very nice hotel is located on the edge of Kanha National Park. Small individual tents serve as accommodation, the journey to the park is short and safaris can be undertaken. A respite from the hustle and bustle after our stay in Delhi. The staff is super friendly, polite and service-oriented. The individually prepared food is very tasty. The tiger safari tours take place in the morning and afternoon. Our tour guide Sangita deserves special praise because she not only hunted tigers but also explained the flora and fauna.

Everything about our visit to Taj Banjaar Tola was fantastic... right from check in to check out.

Given that we were visiting during the Covid 19 pandemic, the most important criteria for me was the hygiene and sanitization. And, the staff members of Taj Banjaar Tola were exceptional in this regard. Everything was perfectly sanitized, the staff members continuously wore masks, and we felt very safe and secure in the hotel.

The tents are luxurious and we got a lovely view of the beautiful Banjaar River. The private deck of each tent was probably the highlight.

The service throughout the hotel was fantastic. I would especially like to mention:

The Naturalists Yaju and Guru were phenomenal. Their knowledge, patience, friendly personalities, and determination to satisfy the guests was unbeatable. We were lucky that we got a wonderful tiger sighting. But, even if we did not, I would still give both the naturalists 10/10.

Chef Mukesh took exceptional care of us. The food was finger licking delicious, and there was a wide variety. The chef was able to cater to all our demands / wishes / customizations. The great food only made our stay that much more memorable and lovely.

I highly recommend Taj Banjaar Tola for anyone looking for a class safari holiday!

Amazing Experience!! Perfect service starting from check-in to check-out. The Luxury tent inside Kanha's core jungle was spacious and clean, with a perfect view of the Banjar River from the room. The housekeeping staff did an excellent job of providing timely service.
Jungle Safari by Taj was beyond imagination. The best part is the delicious home-style food. We enjoyed every item made by our Chef, Mr. Ajit. After each meal, the Chef took feedback and asked if we had a particular order for the next meal. We were simply amazed by the hospitality of the staff, mainly Mr. Akhilesh, Mr. Karan, Mr. Karanveer, Mr. Nitendra, and many others. Thank you so much, Taj, for a fantastic stay.

Banjaar Tola is the first Taj Safari experience that we had. And it was beyond our expectations. Taj hotels and resorts are the epitome of hospitality and this was no exception. Right from the unique welcome to the customized meals to the personalized attention, everything was extraordinary. The team comprising of manager Venkatesh, Chef Nim, Chef Rahul, Chef Gopala and attendants Nitin and Karan, makes sure that you have a memorable stay and all needs are catered to with great care and affection. A big thank you to all.
The star of the Taj Kanha experience was undoubtedly, Debashish Nayak, our tour guide cum naturalist. His enthusiasm only increases with every safari. His affable nature, optimistic attitude and ever smiling face make every safari a delight. The day we reached, it was raining heavily. We were disappointed thinking that the safari would be cancelled. But there he was soaked to the skin, at our tent door, promising us the experience of a lifetime. And indeed it was. The heavy rains did not dampen his spirits at all. He has great knowledge about the flora and fauna and is eager for you to ask questions. We spotted the big cat on 3 out of 4 safaris and that too up close. A big shout out to Debashish!

I think it was better to have a few people on the safari. We typically had between 4 and 6. We enjoyed sharing experiences with others and having them ask questions we did not think to ask.
