Northern India
Pench Jungle Camp
Located close to the entrance of the eponymous National Park, Pench Jungle Camp is situated in a remote and wildlife-rich spot but still provides wonderful accommodation and service.
The camp is keen to provide an enjoyable and comfortable stay for its guests while maintaining sustainable practices and involving the local community.
Pench Jungle Camp provides 12 African-style tented rooms built on permanent foundations. Each tent is spacious with an attached private bathroom with hot running water. All rooms have tea and coffee making facilities and minibars.
There are also 3 deluxe, air-conditioned cottages which provide a slightly higher level of comfort and space, and 4 premium air-conditioned separate rooms.
Every tent and room contains a comfortable double bed or twin beds, a bedside table with telephone and has a 220-volt electricity supply for charging your equipment.
There is a friendly restaurant, serving delicious Indian and some continental cuisine (mostly vegetarian). Other facilities include a small plunge pool, spa and conference room. Activities include game drives, village walks, excursions to handicraft stalls, and night drives in the buffer zone of the park.

Of the 280 species of birds, highlights include grey-headed fish eagle, Indian pitta, Malabar pied hornbill and 4 species of vulture.

Another excellent holiday from Reef and Rainforest. Everything was well organised and coordinated throughout our trip. Very knowledgeable and friendly guides, clearly keen to ensure we had an excellent experience. Highlights were Udaipur, Tigers, rural India and the three wildlife lodges.
