The only thing would be the distance from where the safari starts (about a 10 minute drive)

This is a fabulous property! The ambiance is perfect. We loved the food which was consistently exceptional. The tent accommodation is wonderful and you hear the birds singing (and may hear your neighbours too!). The staff were so helpful too. The safaris were great and we saw a tiger in the wild!

Where to even start. We arrived so late after a 15 hour drive to the lodge. Divya was incredible and met us on arrival, keeping the kitchen open so we were able to enjoy dinner when we got there (which was amazing) and allowed us to check in later so we could go straight to sleep. The staff throughout the stay were amazijg and offered us activities while we spent the morning at the lodgem We took bikes and cycled through the village and to the kabini river where we saw a number of beautiful birds and cows grazing peacefully. We took a boat safari and two land safaris where we saw tigers and elephants. Sujith was an incredible guide. It was beautiful to see the passion , knowledge and respect that the staff had for the wild animals which is exactly what you want to see when going to a reserve . Another thank you to Divya who on our last morning came and knocked on our door after a leopard was spotted off the main road... And oh my god, I cannot believe we were lucky enough to see her. Overall it was an incredible experience that we will never forget. The knowledge the staff have of the local area and animals is commendable and I would recommend kaav to anyone wanting to visit kabini and the reserves. Thank you again, so much. Sas & George

We had a magic stay at Kaav Kabini. We stay 2 nights. Managing staff very helpful and very kind. This is a small and cosy property, we feel at home. Lovely contemporary place very well integrated in this natural area. The pool area is superb. Food is delicious, thank you again Chef and team. We had the possibility to reserve directly safaris (drive and boat). Wish we could come back again

Privacy. Since there was a large group who booked all the other rooms, I had a single instance when someone from that group walked into my room. My request to the manager is to ensure that large groups need to be made aware of their room numbers. Especially if there is a single lady traveling

A quaint property located right at the border of the national park. The forest views are stunning. Ensure you get a room overlooking the forest. The food was delicious made by chefs who are from the village. The array of dishes was an experience of its own! The best part of my stay was the staff. Kind, cordial and go out of their way to make your stay memorable. They helped me book all my safaris and made sure the entire trip was well organised.

There was absolutely nothing that was undesirable.

We loved everything about Kaav. The whole experience starting from booking and confirmation, to the stay at the resort, the experiences planned for us till the checkout process - everything was perfect to the 'T'.

Stayed in July 2023

The tent AC could be a little less noisy, but it fades in comparison to everything else that was incredible.

The hospitality at the resort was beyond amazing. The staff was very warm and catered to all our needs without asking. The food was delicious and the location was amazing. The room was as beautiful as in the pictures. What we loved most was the personal touch of preparing a bag for our safari and cycling, complete with shawls, maps, water bottles and what nots. They truly go above and beyond to make your stay the best.

Nothing it was all good

The location is magical right next to the tiger reserve. You really feel that you are in nature. There is a area upstairs to sit, relax and look over the reserve. The staff are fabulous (a jeep safari is a must), the pool is beautiful, the food is good

Tents a bit noisy, but they are tents! Restricted permits for safaris so you may not get quite what you wanted, but hotel staff do their best to mitigate this.

Food was fabulous. Staff excellent. Nothing too much trouble and we saw a tiger! On a nice day Coracle ride would be better than the boat safari.

Stayed in April 2023

The food was especially good. The chef cooks up superb dishes and desserts for every meal. The tres leches was so delicious! The staff were very sweet and I loved that the property wasn’t manicured. Looked like it’s letting nature work it’s magic!

Kaav stands as one of my top travel experiences till date! Located almost in the middle of a forest of its own, Kaav offers beautifully done rooms, delicious and generous amount of food, and importantly, safaris and heaps of activities for travelers to explore local wildlife! The hospitality and friendliness of the staff is also commendable, and I appreciated Divya the manager being in touch with me a few days before my trip to help me build a great itinerary & ensuring it to execution during my stay! Kudos and thanks to everyone else for their amazing services - Vanya, Sujith, Chef Sunil and his team, and the hardworking kitchen and housekeeping staff! I see myself returning here for sure!

The place dies out after dark!!!! May be a projection room or something will be great idea.... even a camp fire (not sure if it's allowed as its on the edge of jungle)

Hidden jewel in the wild, excellent host & great hospitality

Stayed in March 2023

Nothing really...

The hospitality from all the staff especially Divya sujith and Vanya Does not have too many rooms so it's a more intimate setting The property itself is beautiful with lovely views The food was great!! Kudos to the chef... The amount of food they served with every meal was insane Everyone went an extra mile to help you feel like you were home

Nothing.

We enjoyed the calm surroundings and the beautiful swimming-pool in the shade of a huge banyan tree. Obviously, we enjoyed going on safari on the river and in the forest during which we saw lots of wild animals. Our morning bird watching walk along the river Kabini with a naturalist was also a great success.

we can’t think of one thing we didn’t like!

Kaav Lodge is just magical! being a small lodge, only taking 12 maximum, there is a very personalised service and care is taken to ensure you are thoroughly spoilt! the food is outstanding. A special mention for Devya, Vanya, Sunny and Sujit who’s enthusiasm and dedication are second to none. Their passion for the wildlife and the service they offer is self evident.
