Flame of the Forest
Central IndiaNamed after the vibrant Indian tree, Flame of the Forest is a safari lodge on the banks of the River Banjar. Located close to the Kanha National Park – one of India’s prime tiger reserves – it offers a tranquil base to discover India’s wildlife.
The lodge has four cottages, each with their own courtyards and verandas. Built from mud and thatch, they feature elegant interiors, daybeds overlooking the wilderness, and en suites with indoor-outdoor showers. The cottages are connected to the main lodge via a network of paths and bridges.
The restaurant serves traditional Indian cuisine. They accommodate vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets, and adjust the spice levels according to guests’ preferences.
Jeep safaris into the Kanha National Park in search of Royal Bengal tigers are the main attraction, and there’s a fascinating array of flora, fauna and birds to spot too. There’s also a yoga space, and opportunities to explore tribal villages and markets.
