Ken River Lodge

An amazing stay at Ken. Rahul and his team are the best!!! We initially booked for 3 nights and then extended one more night. Ken River Lodge is located on the banks of the Ken River and it is the best place to stay. The rooms are large and well furnished with all amenities. The staff are extremely good and Rahul went out of his way to ensure that we have a comfortable stay. Their naturalists are the best. Sukra kumar was our naturalist and driver. His tiger tracking capabilities are exceptional. If you are visiting panna definitely stay in Ken.

Ken River Lodge was something that we always had in our list of to be visited properties and finally with help of a friend we got in touch with Property Manager Rahul who after our first call made us finalize things. Dealing with the property directly is always the best deal and they also help you plan your itenary. Ken river Lodge is just 20 minutes far from Khajuraho Airport / Railway station. Its a property is owned by a Jungle lover himself and so all aesthetics are maintained to conserve and abide by rules of the wildlife and Jungle. Lot of bird sightings within the property. The property shared river bed of Ken River (Karnawati River), there are several options available in room category Cottages / Duplex river facing rooms / River facing cottages with plunge pools . The best rooms are river facing with plunge pool facing the Ken river with big huge balcony. Every minute detail right from recliner chairs in balcony to sufficient switch boards within room to charge camera / phone / pad / laptop with side tables working tables have been provided in sufficient quantity, Big water campers within rooms never let you worry about of drinking water and no plastic bottle. The room furnishing has been with Teak wood giving it a raw and luxury together. Their restaurant deck is between 2 huge Arjun trees and complete wood deck by the river side , you would enjoy every sip of your coffee by the side seating on the deck. Food was great too. Manoj & Kamlesh never left us for a moment, so we felt we had someone from the property who was taking care of every minute need of our stay. Walking safari / Nature walk around the property with Manoj with an eye opener he is simply awesome , property owners should move him under the Naturalist curve. Sunny was there to get us the best morning tea be it we requested at 5 am in morning. Rahul has certainly handled the most demanding clients like us for years , he is a perfect Manager and handles clientele very well. Madla gate Panna national park for safari entry point is at 5 minute distance from the property. Few things we request that can be improved 1. Having a in house Naturalist will help people like us who always look for evening coffee chats with them to learn more about the landscape / wildlife in-coherence to the existence around. which they have but season was over so they go on leave. we didnot get one which felt big gap for us. 2. Food needs a little extra spread and variety for guests who like to enjoy food cooked in natural ways like chulha / or in house vegetables organically grown. 3. Special arrangements like a unique experience of Bush dinner / island breakfast will make a guest feel surprised and will be a delight to the overall experience. 4. The merchandise store didnot had anything that was co-brand as Panna National Park which was a miss, which becomes a momento that we can carry back for ourselves and for friends from Panna. No doubt its the best beautiful rooms specially river facing Too

My family and me stayed at the Ken River Lodge this summer to celebrate my son's birthday. The lodge is beautifully located ***** the river side.The view from the room was spectacular ***** with a splash pool on the deck which my son loved. The rooms were very comfortable n the service was great. The staff was very polite n the food was made to our taste. Ken River Lodge has very knowledgeable drivers who knows all about the forest n guide you through your jungle experience. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners as well who have been pioneer in this line of wildlife n tourism. The most exciting part was the night safari which happens only in MP. I would highly recommend Ken River Lodge to stay we had a lovely experience and shall definitely go back. Thank u

It was our first time in a Tiger Reserve. Ken River Lodge is located close to the Reserve. The staff does everything to make your stay great; safari-excursions to the reserve, the naturalist, vehicles, room, restaurant with different dishes. We had a sitting dinner but with the choice of a buffet. The food is prepared according to your taste ( spicy or not). AC in the room but not in the restaurant. WIFI in the restaurant only. Highly recommended!

We stayed here for a one night stay and trust me they really have a good chef whatever they serve is superb
