Pugdundee Safaris- Tree House Hideaway

spent 8 days here in our quest to see tigers in the wild. We were not disappointed! Our naturalist Priyo was a very knowledgeable guide. The resort itself was fantastic. Our room was large, comfortable, and had a great shower room. The food was excellent, whether Indian, or continental. The dining room and bar can only be described as wonderful, created around a mahua tree. The staff was excellent being very attentive, and nothing would phase them.

From the moment we arrived here, we knew it was something special. Rajesh and the team treated us like royalty and nothing was ever too much trouble. Our tree house was rustic and gorgeous, set in the bush with nature and birds all around. One day, on the way back from a safari, we even spotted a leopard on the road, not far from the tree houses! The food was out of this world, featuring traditional Indian cuisine, thalis and international dishes. It was scrumptious and beautifully presented. One highlight was a private bush dinner just for us under twinkling lamps. If we could, we would have loved to bring the chef home! This was the perfect place to unwind after exciting tiger safaris and was our favourite place of our India trip.

I cannot recommend this resort enough. The staff were brilliant, the resort was clean and had everything you needed and the food was beautiful. We were looked after every step of the way and the staff were very caring towards our children (aged 10 and 7). We came in April and were very lucky to see 4 tigers; so a big shout out to Priyo our driver and conservation expert and the guides for giving us memories we’ll never forget. Thank you to everyone at the resort for making our stay so enjoyable!!!

I had an excellent experience at Tree House Hideaway. The safaris were amazing - I saw SEVEN gorgeous tigers in just two days. The staff were so kind and caring, accommodations were fantastic, and the food was extraordinary. I highly recommend Pugdundee Safaris and Tree House Hideaway.

The most unique place we stayed during our travels around the world. Rustic and charming with all the modern conveniences. Large bedroom with sitting area and writing desk. Massive covered veranda. Great location near entrances to Bandhavgarh National Park. Excellent food, superb service. Highly recommend.

I stayed at three Pugdundee properties, Bandhavgarh, Kanha and Pench for my photo safari over two weeks. The food was outstanding at all three properties with individually plated meals. No two meals were the same. Chef’s selections from their private gardens were amazing. Rooms were spacious, clean and stocked with the best French Press coffee I’ve ever had. (I know nothing about coffee, but I drank it black with sugar. Now I can never go back to Starbucks.) The staff was fantastic, attentive and friendly, aiming to cater to your every need. I’d stay here again. 5 stars. As for the safari drives, the drivers come from the lodge and the guides come from the parks. The guides and drivers are tipped separately. Drivers get about twice as much as guides per outing. We had morning and afternoon safaris. There is a separate tip box for all hotel staff. And everyone works extra hard to make sure your stay is enjoyable and memorable. A trip of a lifetime.
