DENWA BACKWATER ESCAPE, SATPURA NATIONAL PARK

INTIMATE SAFARI LODGE

Surveying the scenic backwaters of the Denwa River, Denwa Backwater Escape is an intimate safari lodge ideally situated on the edge of Satpura National Park.

The lodge’s tranquil location, combined with beautiful views over the river, grasslands and Pachmari hills, make it a great option for those seeking a more intimate wilderness experience in central India. Across the river lies Satpura National Park where you can enjoy safaris in search of white bison, Indian giant squirrels, sambar, leopards and the elusive tiger. Other available activities include bird watching, walking safaris, boat cruises and village walks.

Constructed from locally sourced materials like wood, stone and baked tiles, the design of the lodge is modern whilst local textiles and handcrafted furniture add colour and character. There are just eight cottages and two tree houses in total, all featuring classic safari-style furniture and crisp cotton upholstery. Cottages also have private terraces where you can enjoy a sleep-out under the stars. The lodge has a superb swimming pool, ideal for a refreshing dip in between safari activities.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”

Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, 91�� stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”

Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. 91�� were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.

“SERVICE THAT GOES THE EXTRA MILE”

The service we received from 91�� was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
