Perched on the edge of Bandhavgarh National Park, Samode Safari Lodge is a luxurious hideaway for those seeking both comfort and adventure in India’s tiger heartland. The lodge is part of the renowned Samode family, sister to Samode Haveli and Samode Palace in Jaipur, and comprises just twelve private villas, ensuring an intimate and personalized experience.
Each villa draws inspiration from the region’s local architecture, blending traditional charm with modern comfort. Inside, you’ll find a spacious lounge, plush bedroom, and en-suite bathroom, along with a unique open-air bath court that invites you to soak under the stars. Private verandas offer sweeping views of the surrounding wilderness, where the landscape hums with life and anticipation.
Culinary experiences at the lodge are equally immersive. Guests can dine in the main restaurant, enjoy meals by the pool, gather around a campfire barbecue, or even eat beneath the trees in the bush. Menus change daily, offering lighter continental fare during the day and a rich selection of Indian dishes in the evening, all highlighting fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
The thrill of Bandhavgarh lies in its wildlife, and the lodge brings you closer than ever. With specially adapted vehicles and expert naturalists on hand, guests can explore the park in search of tigers, leopards, deer, and an array of birdlife. Beyond safaris, the lodge arranges visits to ancient temples and nearby villages, while the property itself offers a library, art gallery, recreation room, and a swimming pool for moments of relaxation. At Samode Safari Lodge, every day balances the exhilaration of the wild with the comforts of refined luxury.
