Being experienced travellers and wildlifers from England, we know India very well. This is one of the best lodges. Ranjit & Nandita are a delightful couple and run it to perfection. It is located very close to the Kolara gate and one of the best tiger locations in the whole of India.
Simply marvellous. Choose to stay at Svasara and you will receive the warmest of welcomes. The rooms are light and airy. The food superb. The staff are super-courteous and helpful. The naturalist/guides are expert, ever willing to share their comprehensive knowledge of the natural history of the region. Do not hesitate to make a reservation, but do please leave a room free for me!
If you love nature and you want to be among the best people who cares a lot for its surroundings and even more for its guests..go to Svasara and experience it yourself! They are the best in nature hospitality in this part of the country and i can vouch that Svasara is as good as, if not better than, some of the well known names in african wildlife circuit.
We had a wonderful stay! We enjoyed the special dietary accommodations and the perfect hospitality. Proximity to the park gate was a big plus, as is the beautiful grounds for bird watching. We will happily recommend to our friends.
This is my 2nd visit to Svasara Jungle Lodge and I think it was as good if not better than my 1st visit. I received a very warm welcome on my arrival and was shown to Room 112. which is a twin bedded airy room and very comfortable. They have ceiling fans and A/C which I hardly used. Although it was very hot when the sun was shining at night I was very comfortable with just the ceiling fan. The food was just as good as i remembered and the care and friendliness of Ranjit and Nandita along with their staff have made my stays here so memorable. There is wi-fi in the main lounge and dining room but not in the individual rooms. The newest addition to their property is a Spa and large in-ground pool with a wading pool for children. It is set a short walk away from the mail lodge buildings surrounded by trees, flowering shrubs and brush. It is a very pretty building and the spa area is covered over with a high peaked roof so that if one is is so inclined to sit in the shade in one of the beach chairs you can do that. The pool looked so inviting at the time I visited it but I didn't have time to take a swim and then get ready for my safari. The spa offers various types of Ayurvedic massages, whole body massages to facials and aromatherapy which again looked very inviting and also seemed very reasonable. To me it is a very special place to stay with so many wonderful memories that I hope I'll be visiting them again on my next journey to India.
Had a wonderful stay here - thank you for your great hospitality...loved the food - super service + amazing sightings! Plan on returning many times!!
Just back from another fabulous trip to Tadoba. Have always stayed at Svasara and will continue to do so. The location is fabulous in great proximity to the jungle, and the service provided by all the staff is very welcoming and warm. Ranjit and Nandita who manage the lodge always go the extra mile to help.The recent addition of the pool and Spa makes it even better, if that were possible. A great place to stay.
The Perfect Jungle Lodge: Where does one start to describe Svasara. The staff were superb really kind and efficient. Cool flannels and a drink waiting when you return from safari. Then over to the main room for tea and if you wish, talk to the other guests of their experiences. The rooms were of a good size and very clean. The food changed each night themed on a particular area in India. However if you wish you can have westernised food, because my wife does not like hot spicey they produced a specially toned down version of the dish. The safaris were well arranged and could be close or a distance away as you wished. The Naturalists are excellent and between them have an excellent knowledge. We left on the last day at 6 pm to go to Nagpur to take the overnight train onward and we were given a packed dinner for the train. Just go let them know what you wish to do at the lodge and they will arrange a programme. You will be treated as an individual and not part of a group. Words cannot explain how lovely this place is -- just go and find out for yourself.
