Introduction: Kipling Camp a Jungle lodge that was established in 1990 on the edge of Kanha tiger reserve in Madhya Pradesh. The camp is open to naturalists, conservationists and those who wish to relax in idyllic surroundings. It is also the home of TARA, the much-loved elephant who starred in Mark Shand's best selling epic.
Description: Kipling Camp when established in 1982, was the first permanent tourist camp to be set up in Kanha National Park. Bob and Anne Wright, having lived in India practically all their lives, had welcomed many friends and special visitors to view wildlife but it was Kanha National Park which fuelled their desire to create this ecologically sympathetic and enchanting destination. Over the past 20 years, the camp has maintained its "house party" atmosphere. Kipling Camp provides the perfect place for peace and tranquility in the heart of the India Jungles
Facilities: Kipling Camp is a simple and comfortable forest lodge with an excellent cuisine and bar. In order to ensure good sightings of tiger and other wildlife, a stay of at least 3 nights is recommended. Visitors are taken out by open four-wheel drive vehicles to see and photograph wildlife at dawn and in the afternoon picnics and bird walks are arranged. Kipling Camp guests enjoy picnic breakfasts in the Park, bathing Tara our elephant at the river, relaxing siestas and drinks by the campfire. There's the excitement of tracking tigers from the backs of Park elephants, and the peace of watching birds whilst walking in the forest. All this, along with the knowledge that Kipling Camp is owned by some of Indian's leading conservationist, makes a unique and delightful experience. The focal point of the camp is the Shamiana , where guests enjoy indoor and outdoor dining. It is an ideal place for guests to mingle with fellow wildlife enthusiasts or simply pick up a book and relax.
