Pashan Garh Panna National Park - A Taj Safari Lodge

Safari Experience: Safari drives are well-organized, with knowledgeable naturalists who ensure guests have memorable wildlife-viewing experiences. Night safaris and nature walks within the property add to the adventure.

My husband and I were in Panna Pashangarh and we had the most memorable time. Thanks to Taj Holidays and Taj Safari team. the hospitality was at its best as always. Taj spoils you in many ways that one can't think of and you notice the difference in service levels when you stay with other hotel groups. Amazing Food by the chef - bundelkhand thaali , dinner buffet set up under glittering stars as a surprise for all guests , superb and well designed big size rooms and washrooms. Safari was outstanding as well - the naturalists are very well trained - thanks and huge Kudos to George Mathew for all the knowledge he shared about animal life and jungle drives. Our trip to Khajuraho was also great and Taj organised a very capable person as a guide there that made all the difference - Mr Anurag. Its worth taking a guide in Khajuraho and the well read ones make all the difference. My entire kudos and thanks to Taj team - Aakash the manager, Ajay the manager, Chef, Sumit, Karan, Suresh, George Mathew, Debashis , Khushi and all -- we thank you for making it memorable and one of the best vacations we had. We will definitely do other safari's in years to come.

Pros - there are 12 cottages in 200 acres so nice jungle feel. Staff is very sweet & respectful but they are untrained (most of them are locals from nearby and none of them have done any sort of formal training it seems). Cons - very basic rooms (not worth the price.at all), showers are a nightmare (hot becomes cold without warning), food is pathetic (there is no flavour or taste and the service is also really bad with the staff completely unable to handle basic food needs). Given you are stuck in the property which is middle of nowhere, there is no option but to eat their bland food. Also the property doesn’t even have a basic activity room for adults with games or like a pool table or carrom (so post the morning safari, the whole day there is nothing to do but watch the jungle from your room which is nice but beyond a point, it would have been nice to have other stuff to do). There is nothing for kids to do here so forget about coming here with kids. For the price being charged, this property is not worth it. There are many other nicer properties in the region which one can explore. Sorry Taj Safari - you fail to impress.
