Red Earth Tadoba

Food was all fantastic, a good selection every day promptly delivered when arriving at the restaurant. On the final day we were leaving before the lunch service & the staff kindly arranged that we could have lunch early before departing.

Located very close to Zari Gate. Very large space and well maintained resort. Lots of greenery and eco-friendly design everywhere. Breakfast spread is very good and staff is very helpful and nice - service with a smile. Neatly maintained swimming pool and activity room. The naturalists on the resort Jeswin and Palllavi are awesome and very knowledgeable.

Since this is a eco-friendly property, it is natural to encounter many insects in the resort. So, if you have an allergy or an issue with the creepy crawlies, think again. Some of the cottages are a bit of a long walk from the restaurant and swimming pool. So, if you have elderly or small children, it might be a but painful especially after dark or if it rains. The resort staff make up for this with great service, umbrellas and 24X7 help though

The stay, food and hospitality

Nothing

1. The Pristine Location in the Tadoba buffer Zone. 2. Recruitment of local people and training them to be capable enough for providing world class service. 3. Building the whole resort not disturbing the nature but respecting it. 4. Good lemon grass and citronella oil smell in all washrooms. 5. Private swimming pools in the cottages. 6. Home style chicken preparation. 7. Friendly and assisting nature of all the staffs. They were prompt at helping us when our car didn’t start before the safari in the morning. 8. In house naturalist to guide and teach us on any query regarding nature. 9. Warm drinking water in thermos in the morning before safari. 10. Excellent spread of breakfast and dinner menu options. 11. Natural light, sound and air during shower.

1. There should have been some snacks along with tea and coffee before going to safari in the morning.

Very beautifully designed cottages . Own private semi outdoor bathroom . Good food . Very very calm . They have a beautifull bar and restaurant . Chances of getting a safari slot . Easy access from highway Very close to safari zari gate . Beautiful spa

They should have had more walking areas so that we could walk allot inside and enjoy the property. The staff shouldn’t take decisions on behalf of the customers in booking and choosing safari timings . If the safari isn’t available according to the wish of the customer then they should out rightly say it’s not available and not try to accommodate you in a different time zone without asking you .

Beautifully nestled at the fringe of the tiger reserve, We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience at the property. The rooms are beautiful placed overlooking the canal that passes through the property, with open bathrooms and lovely sounds of the trees and birds. The staff goes all out to serve you with a smile. Food recommendations of restaurant specials and local flavours were spot on (thank you Vaibhav) The property arranged a superb safari experience and we were fortunate to have the expert Naturalist Bejoy Issac guide us through the safari sharing his vast knowledge , tidbits and stories to help us understand the forest, terrain, birds, bees, spiders, langurs and other creatures of the forest. The tiger spotting was a bonus. He also took us on an amazing nature walk around the perimeter of the property and surrounding paddy fields for birdwatching and understanding microfauna. Big shout out to the staff that really personalise the experience for every guest (Pradeep, bejoy, Vaibhav, Gayatri, Shyam, golu) SIDE NOTES:1. definitely carry a swimsuit, they have a lovely long well maintained pool. 2. Be respectful of tiny creatures around you (spiders, insects, butterflies etc) and learn to coexist with them.

An absolutely exceptional stay with my family @ Red Earth. The room was large, well kept and unique. The outdoor elements in the washroom, the sundeck, private plungepool were all super surprises. Food was like home, low on spice and high on flavour. Served buffet style with ample options. The safari drives were spectacular. On our three game drives, we saw all the three largest predators - Tigers, Leopards and Wild dogs. Bird watchers will find this a paradise. David and his wife who manage the property took personal care and looked after every detail personally. David, a naturalist by heart, accompanied us for two of the safaris and was full of enthusiasm for all the wildlife and was happy to share details. We had a most memorable stay and will most certainly return
