I went to Kabini with my family in April 2013. Had a lovely time. Food is good. Lovely view of the River Kabini from here. The safari is awesome. It's nice to be so close to nature and be part of it in a way. Their naturalists are really good and help you in spotting some rare birds and animals.... More

Our family of 5 (including a 2 year old) visited JLR Kabini. The last 14 KM's as everybody said is little bad, but once we reached the JLR campus, we forgot all about it. The food id really great, the Cottage is excellent. Except the price is little on the high side. Make sure you take jackets/ sweaters for your... More

The reviews for the Kabini River Lodge seem to confuse the safaris into Nagarhole forest with the resort itself. We drove through Nagarhole and saw a large elephant & gaur on the roadside ... the forest has wildlife. The resort is run by the state, and only the state can run safaris: ergo (1) stay at the Lodge (2) pay... More

Definitely one of our best holidays. This place is a complete for the people who like nature, wildlife and peaceful holiday. Reaching this place is little tiresome because of bad roads (close the jungle lodge area), but it is only a very small discomfort which travelers can adjust because rest everything else is simply amazing. We stayed in the tented... More

Amazing Place, Spoiled by FAMILIES visiting it as a holiday spot. WTFrontdoor, The first day (2 safaris) was hopeless as there was a family of 4 on a joyride and we did not get anything! The driver and the spotter were also hopeless. I regretted going there. The Next day (Last 2 Safaris) was awesome, thanks to the fact that... More

Best place to stay at Kabini because they are the only ones permitted to take visitors into the forest. If photography is what you are coming for it makes most sense to stay here or you miss out the best seats in their vehicles. Even though the drive to the lodge is over poor roads especially towards the end, it... More

Long drive from Bangalore , first impression : not our money's worth. Swimming pool with dead flies and staff lying to us that they cleaned the pool ... Campfire was good, food quite nice, the morning safari was alright .. But we did catch sight of a leopard , elephants, deers and peacock. Camps to stay in we're neat.

There are two major rip-offs. The first is that for all Jungle Lodge properties non-Indians have to pay an extra Rs 4000 a day each. That’s $150 or £100 per couple per day. There is no add-on for this so do think about whether you want to pay this or if you would rather stay in another place where guests... More
