Overview

The Kipling Camp was established in 1982. The great novelist 'Rudyard Kipling' inspired the name of this location. The camp offers a wonderful stay in a large, forested area with a lake as a legacy of conservation. Every activity, service, and stay at the camp serves as an example of the camp philosophy of “treading softly”. The camp is run and maintained by Belinda and Anne Wright, and this camp has easy access to the Kanha National Park. The camp is run entirely by the local villagers who have received training in hospitality and service. The camp offers numerous opportunities to engage with and get knowledge about wildlife and forests in addition to the park safaris. A family of passionate wildlife enthusiasts founded the camp in central India in the early 1980s. An ideal location for travellers who want to relax in beautiful surroundings while travelling through Central India's secluded tiger forests and villages. Safaris into the nearby tiger reserve provide fantastic chances for bird watching and wildlife photography. The cozy houses are located on acres of pristine wilderness. Tara, a beloved elephant who enjoys taking baths and getting scrubbed in the adjacent River, calls Kipling her home. The guests' interaction with Tara is the highlight of their trip to India, especially for families with kids. The camp arranges excursions to the nearby communities, which feature historic buildings and vibrant markets. On special occasions or important events, Baiga tribal dance groups are called to perform for the guests.
