The trip

Here's why we love Kabini

Kabini is the south-eastern reach of Nagarhole, a morning's drive from us in Coonoor: the backwaters of the Kabini river, elephant herds at the water in the dry months, and leopards in the open. Led by one of our expert naturalists.

The two nights

How the trip runs

Four safaris across three days.

  1. Day 1 · one safari

    Arrive at the resort by 12:30 and check in. Lunch, and time to get acquainted. The vehicle collects us from the resort for the afternoon safari; high tea is waiting when we come back. Before dinner we sit down together and go through the forest, whatever we saw, the photography and the animal behaviour behind it. Early night: day 2 starts before light.

  2. Day 2 · two safaris

    At the pick-up point early enough to be the first vehicle through the gate. Back to the resort afterwards to rest and clean up, another session on what the morning gave us, then lunch. Out again for the afternoon safari, high tea on return, dinner, and another early night.

  3. Day 3 · one safari, then home

    The vehicle collects us for the morning safari and breakfast is served inside the park. Out of the gate, back to the resort, and away.
