Godwad Leopard Camp

Jodwad Camp offers luxury tented accommodation in the heart of the Jawai Leopard Conservation Reserve. The site has a selection of well-designed, comfortable tents, all with en suite facilities and air conditioning.

Jawai is well known as prime leopard territory, and a healthy population live in the Jawai Hills, close the camp. Early morning game drives in customised jeeps, accompanied by a driver/tracker and a naturalist guide, provide the best chances of spotting the cats in the wild. Aside from these fascinating felines, the nearby Jawai Bandh reservoir attracts an abundance of water birds including demoiselle crane, sarus crane, flamingo and bar-headed goose. There may even be the opportunity to see hyena, wolf and jackal, as well as crocodile, approaching the nearby waterways.

The name of the camp - Godwad - means ‘the area in the foothills’ in the local language; the area is culturally rich and staff at the camp come from the maverick ‘Raika’ community.
