Saccharum Safari Lodge

Stayed here with family and friends in April 2025. There are several positives going for the lodge…primarily the staff and management all go above and beyond. Everything works seamlessly and everything was arranged in a turnkey manner from airport pickup in Raipur to the safari bookings to accommodation. Staff are amazin, as mentioned. The meals are truly outstanding. The rooms are a lovely respite from the summer heat and also the chaos looming outside the lodge gates. Only negative i can think of is the lack of cell connectivity, other than Jio (and probably BSNL). The higher category rooms have a WiFi network, as does the common area however I found it spotty…but do you really need network on a safari holiday? Highly recommend staying here. I will be back here the next time i am in Kanha. And completely unrelated to the lodge, but the safari sightings were great in April.

The property is located in the buffer zone and designed in a very creative way, such that the feel of living in a forest is maintained while also including the necessary aesthetics and comfort that one would look for. The rooms are clean and spacious and designed keeping the local architecture and culture in mind. There is a small pool and sit out overlooking a water body in the forest, if you are lucky you can get to some extra sightings from the property itself. The hospitality of this place is just outstanding. The property is managed by 2 resident naturalist who share a lot of insights on the forest and wildlife and will provide you with all necessary guidance to make the best of your trip. The staff is very friendly and helpful and will always greet you with a smile. To top it all the food at Sacchurum was very impressive. They serve a huge spread every meal, ensuring that the dietary requirements of each and every guest is taken care of. We were there for 4 days and we were served very different cuisines every single meal, each being equally delicious. The chef here is truly outstanding!!

Beautiful accommodation. Comfortable and generous. Hosted magnificently by the owners, Wasim and Ratna, catered to by the talented and creative chef, and looked after by lovely, friendly staff ... this is an easy 5 star recommendation. Close to the Mukki Gate of Kanha - our safari experience in this reserve was also 5 stars 🌟

Been the best 4 days of jungle experience till date. The hospitality, food, stay, outdoors was simply outstanding. That machan outside the dining will stay with us forever. Looking forward to coming back soon. Thank you for everything.😇😇

Wonderful location, in the midst of forest, minimalist but with all comforts. Staff is very friendly, prompt and well conversant. We were only two of us in the lodge in those dates but head chef dished out varied menu every meal. Food is excellent, service impeccable, and we were served candle light bush dinner, breakfast by river, on the machaan...all without even asking them ! A must stay lodge to soak forest quiet and thrill with all your needs thoughtfully taken care of. Thankyou Mr Wasim and entire Saccharum team for making our stay a memorable one. We shall definitely go back again. Vasu, Aniruddha

From start to finish, the stay was incredible. As we drove in we were greeted with smiling waving staff who made us feel so welcome. The resort is located in the buffer zone and walking past the langur monkeys to the room just showed that you were in the wild! The rooms were tastefully decorated and the beds very comfortable! The bathrooms were clean and the rain shower was so nice, especially after a dusty safari! The resort itself is wonderful to walk around. With a lounge area to sit in the evenings and reflect on the day, to the poolside terrace which overlooks a watering hole at sunset- this place had everything you needed to feel relaxed and enjoy the surroundings. The food was delicious. Chef Akshendra did a fantastic job creating meals from locally sourced ingredients. He took into consideration dietary requirements. My favourite was the chaat station he set up poolside! The staff are really what makes this place special. They are kind and helpful and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was special! We are already talking about when we can go back! I highly recommend this place and I feel like words cannot do it justice!
