We had won an auction to the Kipling Camp and we drove down straight from Pune until Kanha. Right from the time we reached for a late lunch until the time we departed after 3 stunning nights we were spoilt for choice of good food, great company and a personalised service which one can experience only in a property like...

There were many lovely things about this camp. One of the owners, Belinda Wright, is an ardent conservationist and I always like to support such efforts. This camp reflects basic conservation values of saving water, trying not to negatively impact the environment, etc. The location is a quiet setting in the forest with wildlife around so that was most excellent....

Kipling Camp is definitely the best jungle camp I've been to. Rustic and basic, it blends perfectly into the jungle of which it is a part. Yet the amenities it offers guests -- hot water bottles, wonderful home cooked food, excellent company provided by the manager Charles, owners Anne and Belinda Wright and of course the lovely menagerie of animals...

Kipling Camp was booked by my brother-in-law for our family holiday and I must say it was one of the best holidays we've had. The Camp is located very close to the jungle and has visitors like the spotted deer (Chital) and wonderful birds. The staff is very knowledgeable about the wildlife around and a guided nature walk is an... More

Living in Delhi, for sure the best place in India. The staff is great, the food also... And the owners so friendly and knowledgeable. A must. A good balance between comfort and proximity with the nature. Safaris are well organized, and naturalists very professional. A great experience for a first time in kanha. For sure, we ll be back.

I have just returned from my fourth visit to Kipling Camp and it was as wonderful as ever. The camp is an oasis of calm and quiet where it is possible to mammal and bird watch without leaving the comfort of your chair on the veranda. The staff are like old friends and made me very welcome, lots of excellent... More

Kipling camp was a fantastic discovery. It really is exactly the way you would imagine a jungle retreat should be. The location was great and it was breath taking to see a herd of deer grazing in the forests ahead while eating breakfast outside. Cozy cottages with thoughtful touches like the hot water bottle in your bed at night, the... More

The Kipling staff made us so welcome, and nothing was too much trouble. It's right at the main entrance to Kanha and the rooms are set in their own part of the jungle. Tara, the resident elephant, is a star and bathing her is a lot of fun. The guys that work here are just fabulous, with great humour and... More

This was our last stop on a very hectic 10 day tour of India and our favourite! The camp is set in a peaceful location and you instantly feel relaxed. The bungalows that you stay in are dotted around the camp and very comfy, but not luxurious (but this is a camp in the middle of nowhere!). As it is... More
