SAFARI LODGE
Bandhavgarh National Park – overlooked by a mighty fort reputedly dating back 2000 years – is one of India’s best preserved conservation areas and the one in which you are most likely to see tigers stalking their prey in their natural habitat. In fact, you’d be unlucky not to. But tigers aren’t the full story; the park is home to a wonderful array of predators and herbivores, spectacular insects and inscrutable reptiles. Not to mention noisy, colourful birds – including vivid hornbills and large owls.
Bandhavgarh is also home to Samode Safari Lodge. Stay at Samode on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to India and you’ll not only have 400 sq km of pristine wilderness on your doorstep, you’ll also be able stay in a beautiful villa, indulge in a modern spa and dine in exotic venues.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
A hugely enjoyable nine-day trip, expertly organised from start to finish. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see and do, with excellent guides, drivers and seamless logistics throughout. The documentation was clear and helpful, and the London office was consistently responsive, knowledgeable and efficient.
