What does "ultra-luxury jungle lodge" mean in practice?+
Standalone villas with private plunge pools, dedicated butler service, multi-course curated meals, a wine list, in-room spa, and panoramic forest views. Examples in our luxury tier roster: properties at the level of Svasara, Bamboo Forest Safari Lodge, or Tigers Den — all under 30 minutes from Kolara or Moharli gate.
Is the Luxury package the best choice for serious wildlife photographers?+
Yes — Luxury gives you a dedicated naturalist plus tracker (two people scouting territories instead of one), a luxury SUV with space for camera gear, and resort routines that work around early-morning gate openings. Photographers staying in our Luxury tier consistently report sharper sighting odds because the naturalist has time to chase recent movement reports between safaris.
Can the Luxury package accommodate special dietary requirements?+
Yes — every Luxury-tier lodge handles Jain, vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-specific menus when notified at least 7 days in advance. We pass requirements to the lodge directly and confirm with you before arrival. Resort kitchens in our roster are accustomed to international guests with strict dietary needs.
What is the cancellation policy on the Luxury package?+
Full refund minus permit cost (around ₹15,000) if cancelled 45+ days out. 50% refund 21 to 44 days out. No refund inside 21 days because core-zone permits, gypsy bookings, and luxury-tier resort rooms are all non-refundable to us at that window. Trip-protection insurance is recommended for travel from outside India.
Why are there only 4 safaris in the Luxury package — same as Budget and Mid?+
Tadoba core gates run two safari slots per day (early morning and afternoon). Four safaris over a 3-night / 4-day trip is the maximum without compromising rest, meals, or naturalist briefings. If you want more safaris, the answer is more nights — ask us for a 5-night or 7-night Luxury extension when you inquire.
