Sylvan Woods — Safari Lodge

The Lodge

Built from the same earth as the forest around it

Sylvan Woods sits in bamboo country on the edge of Tadoba-Andhari, a short drive from the Kolara entrance. A proper Boutique jungle lodge — mud-finished cottages, tiled roofs, verandahs that face nothing but green.

Days begin in the dark with coffee before a safari and end around a lantern-lit table. Twelve suites, one long table, and a forest that decides the schedule.

Accommodation

Twelve cottages, each one to itself

Every cottage stands alone under teak shade, walled in mud and roofed in tile, with a private verandah that opens straight onto the treeline. No two share a wall, and none sits more than a short walk from the long table.
