Shergarh Tented Camp

The best tiger reserve camp. Tented accommodation attached to permanent accommodation. The camp is closed for the wet season. We had the best guide in any tiger reserve we have stayed in - Raj. The ambience provided in the evening at dinner by Catherene, Aaisa and Raj made our stay extremely pleasant. In addition, we had the best tiger sightings we have ever had - even 5 different tigers in one afternoon. We booked all day safaris, which I would recommend for the additional perks.

We had the most incredible experiences at Shergarh. Firstly Katie and Jehan were incredible hosts and went out of their way to make this experience special. The camp is located in a great spot close to the park. It is set back from the main road and is surrounded by nature, it is beautiful. The accommodation is amazing, very comfortable, clean and made to feel like a home. The staff are exceptional and the service is great. Nothing is too much trouble and they are all so welcoming. It is like a family and they make you feel a part of it. The food was great and plentiful. For the nature side, they handled all the bookings for the safaris. These were great and the resident naturalists were so knowledgeable. We did an unguided walk in the villages which was incredible and a guided jungle walk with Catherine, this was the highlight of the trip. We left the lodge wishing we could stay. It felt like we were at home. I would recommend this venue to everyone wanting to visit the park and be a part of nature.

We risked booking 7 nights at one place and are so thankful we did. Shergarh sits in a beautiful setting, a small lake surrounded by trees, a spacious main building and individual tents well apart from each other. Our tent was large, nicely decorated, a large comfortable bed and en suite shower and clothes storage area with a separate toilet. Water is heated by wood and was always piping hot. What really made our stay was the staff, so friendly and welcoming, after a day or two we felt that we were with caring friends. Catherine manages with a discreet but firm hand, Raj, our guide, was even more excited than us to see tigers and was also an excellent bird guide, his daughter Aaisa was always anxious that we had all we needed. Although we were really well looked after, the staff vigilance was never intrusive, the sign of professional management. The food was varied and the healthy fresh lunches were ideal. Food was on a buffet basis and quantities available were always generous. We did several early morning walks with Raj in the nearby buffer zone forest, which is truly beautiful and well worth getting up early for, especially when you come back to a great breakfast overlooking the lake! We did four safaris with Raj and saw three tigers, which seems to me to be a pretty good score. As I imagine you’ve already guessed, we really liked Shergarh; a pity it’s so far from Europe1
