Wild comforts in Madhya Pradesh

Taj Safaris, the enterprise from the Taj Group of hotels and wildlife operators CC Africa, open their second luxury jungle property in India. Baghvan, set on the fringes of Madhya Pradesh’s Pench National Park, follows hard on the heels of Mahua Kothi (outside Bandhavgarh National Park). And it’s styled along the same aesthetic and philosophical lines: self-indulgent luxury coupled with a clear and admirable commitment to the rich wildlife of the region. Accommodation is in 12 standalone suites; safaris are led by earnest and experienced wildlifers. Tariff: $600 per person, including all meals and jungle excursions.
