Kaav Safari Lodge, Kabini

It's very very difficult to walk the fine line between being a hotel and a luxury home - and this small hotel has managed to hit that sweet spot just perfectly! It's small, but feels spacious with lovely rooms. The menus are fixed (like a home) but there's a superlative variety and top quality cooking. The staff are friendly, but not over-familiar. Its totally personal but also professional. Bravo! Superbly well organized for the safaris too - we felt safe and pampered (water blankets, ponchos!) and definitely more knowledgeable thanks to the excellent naturalist who accompanied us (sorry, I'm bad with names)

A minor quibble - but there's definitely work to be done on the coffee that's served! In a state known for it's coffee, serving a watery and tasteless beverage (esp with a 5:30 am start for the safari) takes away from the high standards that this hotel has set in every other area.

The rooms are great, ‘Safari like’, the lodge is small, I.e. family-like.

Very good service and food
