The accommodation was fantastic, wonderful food in a different location every evening, and as for the game drives ...I do not know where to start! We saw so many tigers including a mother and her three cubs aged about a year but know that this is just so unusual... More

To say we were gob smacked on arrival at Samode is an understatement. The rooms are big enough to live in permanently, the food delicious, the staff wonderful, management appproachable and very friendly, naturalists knowledgeable and accommodating. Our thanks to Gauri, Hatsi and the crew. Apart from the wildlife and tigers (we saw 6) one could luxuriate here for a... More

We thought that we had come for the sight of a tiger but we soon learned that there is so much more to a safari in India than that. Anshuman the wildlife guide who's a real naturalist - he made a stop at a spider's web as exciting as a view of a tiger (we saw both). Four days of... More

Custom fleece ponchos for those chilly mornings, escorts to superb surprise dining locations on the property.Expert guides who take time for enjoyable discussions with guests before dinner. Many thanks to Gora, Anshuman... More

We spent five nights over New Years at Samode Safari Lodge. Our seven year old rated it as the best holiday and rated the hotel owners dog as number 1, the hotel as two and the tiger as three. The amazing part of this hotel is the level of understated luxury...food, villas ( not rooms but suites), service standards etc.... More

My husband and I stayed at the Samode Safari Lodge with our two pre-school aged children for two nights. I was clean and beautifully decorated. The staff was wonderfully accommodating for us and for our driver as well. The Lodge is secluded and peaceful. It has nice swimming pool which would be fantastic in warmer weather. We were there November... More
