A lovely lodge right on the Ken river. The staff were amazing and we loved having our meals on the tree-house restaurant. The rowing boat safari offered by the lodge (for an extra fee) was worth every penny.

This is an amazing RUSTIC lodge. Our cabin was adorable, the rooms were comfortable and the food was great. 4 am Tiger safari and evening bird watching on a boat were both suburb. Guides were knowledgeable and local. Highly recommend, but be prepared for rustic. Charming rustic!

grat place to stay

One of the best places to stay near the Panna National Park. The lodge is in good shape, the service is excellent and the food is tasty. They packed lunch for the morning safari which was sufficient for two of us and our guide and driver. don't miss the evening boat safari even if its is a bit expensive.
