Nestled in the Kabini Forest, on the edge of Nagarhole National Park, lies the luxurious Kaav Safari Lodge, a small and intimate lodge accommodating a minimal number of guests.
The lodge has four comfortable rooms with private decks, as well as two luxury tents with balconies. Facilities include a common lounge and viewing deck, alfresco dining area with barbecue on request and a swimming pool overlooking the picturesque jungle surroundings.
With over 300 bird species recorded in Kabini Forest, guided nature walks or jeep safaris along the edge of the park reward guests with sightings of numerous endemic species such as the Malabar pied hornbill, Nilgiri flycatcher and the stunning Malabar parakeet. For those in search of mammals, Nagarhole National Park is considered to be one of the best Asian elephant reserves in the country, and in the summer months, herds of more than 100 individuals can be observed at the watering holes. The diverse vegetation supports many other herbivores including spotted deer, sambar, gaur, barking deer, four-horned antelope and wild boar, which give rise to a high density of predators, including tiger and leopard, as well as dhole, sloth bear and hyena.
