Mahua Kothi, A Taj Safari - Bandhavgarh National Park

We arrived in the evening at the camp and were very warmly welcomed. We were taken to,our very luxurious room to settle in. We then met our guide Kuran and he told us about the camps and different areas and where we would go the next morning. This was our third Taj Safari camp so were now aware of how hard it is to spot these beautiful animals. But we were very fortunate as we spotted one the next morning on our first Safari from this camp.The atmosphere in the camp was excellent and you felt at all times as if you were the only people who were important. This was from all staff from Amit, the manager, to the housekeepers. Thank you very much for such an amazing experiance
