As the name suggests Kabini river Lodge is located right on the banks of Kabini River. It is a heritage property now converted into a Jungle Lodge. The sanctuary gate is 1 - 2 Kms distance from the lodge. Bokings can be done either online or from Bangalore central office. Reaching the place was difficult due to lack of directions. The lodge offers tents, rooms and cottages, we opted to stay in a room. The room is very spacious with king size bed, sitting area and bath tub. Food is served in Gol ghar facing Kabini River. Lodge tariff includes all meals and Jungle Activities. Both the Jungle and Lodge experience was good.
Best Experience: The guides during Jungle Safari were knowlegable and experienced. The whole day is occupied with Wildlife Jeep Safari, Coracle ride, Motorboat ride, Wildlife Film. Bird sightings are good during Coracle and Motorboat ride.
Worst Experience: Animal Sightings are less in Winter Months as compared to Summer, when you can see herds of elephants on the banks of Kabini River.
