About Kanha Jungle Camp

Kanha Jungle Camp is a breathtaking, eco-conscious hideaway nestled within 40 acres of lush, reforested sal forest in the heart of Central India. Owned and operated by Jungle Camps India, this award-winning luxury resort sits in an enviable position near the Mukki Gate of Kanha National Park — one of India’s most celebrated tiger reserves. Surrounded by dense vegetation that seamlessly blends into the park’s buffer forest, Kanha Jungle Camp is the perfect sanctuary for wildlife lovers, nature enthusiasts, and those seeking a genuine jungle escape paired with modern comforts.

Location Highlights:

  • Distance from Mukki Gate: 20-minute drive
  • Distance from Kisli / Khatia Zone: 40 km and 60 km respectively
  • Nearest Airport: Jabalpur Airport (~160 km, approx. 3 hours)
  • Nearest Railway Station: Jabalpur (~160 km) or Gondia Railway Station (~145 km)
  • Nearest Major City: Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh

One of the most remarkable qualities of Kanha Jungle Camp is its deep, unwavering commitment to conservation, responsible tourism, and community empowerment. The camp sources ingredients locally, trains and employs talent from surrounding villages, and operates with a low-impact philosophy that ensures nature is disturbed as little as possible. Guests enjoy privileged access to an on-site ecological park, home to a rich variety of birds and wildlife — a rare experience found within the premises of very few jungle lodges in India. The camp also warmly welcomes pets and offers wheelchair-accessible rooms, making it one of the most inclusive wildlife resorts in the country.

Dining & Cuisine at Kanha Jungle Camp

Dining at Kanha Jungle Camp is a curated culinary journey led by Executive Head Chef Samta Gupta, who masterfully blends locally sourced, seasonal ingredients with creative menus rooted in the flavours of Central India. The traditional dining room serves signature buffets and set menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all crafted with care and authenticity.

Your day begins with early morning tea or coffee before the safari, followed by a full picnic breakfast served out in the wild. Lunch is offered in a casual yet elegant setting between 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM. After the evening game drive, guests are welcomed back with high tea on the serene lawn. Evenings are something special — choose between a lively stir-fry dinner, a three-course à la carte meal, or an unforgettable bonfire dinner under the stars in the jungle or a candlelit meal by the poolside. At Kanha Jungle Camp, every meal is as memorable as the safari itself.

Safari at Kanha National Park

Covering an expansive 940 sq. km, Kanha National Park is one of the largest and most celebrated wildlife sanctuaries in Madhya Pradesh, and is a stronghold for the Royal Bengal Tiger. The park is also home to the rare barasingha (hard-ground swamp deer), leopards, Indian wild dogs (dholes), sloth bears, and over 300 species of birds. Kanha is famously the inspiration behind Rudyard Kipling’s beloved classic, The Jungle Book.

From Kanha Jungle Camp, the Mukki Zone is just a 20-minute drive, making early morning and late afternoon safaris supremely convenient. The Kisli and Khatia zones are reachable at 40 km and 60 km respectively. All safaris are conducted in 4×4 WD vehicles accompanied by expert naturalists and certified forest guides who bring the forest alive with their passion and deep knowledge of its many inhabitants.
