A place to slow down and look closer
Our story
Here, the forest isn’t a backdrop. It’s the reason we’re here.
We are Panna Tiger Resort, a riverside stay by the Ken and just minutes from the Madla Gate of Panna Tiger Reserve. For us, a memorable visit begins with being close—to the water, to the forest, and to people who know it well.
That is why we bring together comfortable cottages, well-planned safaris and easy, thoughtful hospitality. An early breakfast box before dawn, a naturalist who can read Panna’s signs, a slow boat ride on the Ken at the end of the day—the details let you experience this remarkable place at its own pace.

What matters to us
A stay made for the moments in between.
Good wildlife travel is as much about how a place feels as what you see. We keep the essentials close, so your days can follow the rhythm of the forest.
Knowledge you can feel
A resident naturalist helps you read the forest—not just follow a trail through it.
Comfort, without fuss
Return from the safari to a welcoming cottage, good food and a breakfast box ready before dawn.

Meet your naturalist
Know the forest beyond the map.
Since 2001, Manoj Kumar Dwivedi has guided guests through Panna’s teak forests, riverbanks and changing seasons. He reads the small signals—a pugmark, an alarm call, a sudden silence—and helps turn each safari into a story.
Ask him about Panna’s remarkable tiger comeback, the wildlife around the Ken, or the lives hidden in the forest between sightings. You’ll leave seeing more than you came for.
