Irai Safari Retreat

Great place, great staff and great food… I think it’s a great spot, if you’re travelling with your family as people go out of the way to make sure that you’re comfortable not only at the resort, but in case you want to step out and try some of the adventures outside. All your meals are organised in a way best suited for your Safari which is great. My kid loved the whole experience. Thanks to Deepak & the entire team.

My experience at the IRAI resort was outstanding! 1. It starts with the people involved. Reservation services coordinated by Ms. Deepika were flawless. We had the privilege of having the experienced Naturalist, Mr. Deepak Sate, accompany us on the five safaris we took. His experience and intimate knowledge of the entire park area were obvious. Under his excellent guidance, we were able to have several wildlife sightings and get a better understanding of animal behavior and the park ecology. 2. The facilities were excellent. The cottages were well appointed and very comfortable. 3. The food was great and the service staff were very friendly and helpful. I would strongly recommend the IRAI resort to anybody considering a trip to the Tadoba Tiger Reserve. What are you waiting for?

What an amazing experience at IRAI Safar Retreat yet again❤️ We have been to Tadoba countless times that I've nearly lost coun, and what always stands out other than our favorite safaris is our stay at Irai Safari Retreat in Bhamdeli. We had booked the accommodation in advance, and Deepika from reservation and guest services had made the reservation experience as smooth as it always is. Just a text to her and our Favorite trip of the year started getting planned. She is very supportive, helpful and ensures that the reservation process is hassle free. On the day of arrival, we were welcomed by the ever eager Sitaram bhau, Rahul in Management and Pate, sir, our trusted wildlife naturalist with a blooming smile which immediately made us feel welcomed and at home. As soon as our check-in was done, we were greeted by our 2 most favorite people in this location; Narayan in F&B and Mangesh who is the Barbeque specialist. The rooms had an upgrade and some renovations since we had visited last. A new Aircon, a few small changes to the room and some fixtures changes in the restroom really made our stay even more enjoyable and pleasant. The room was well appointed, clean, odor free and well stocked with necessary items. A special note for Narayan Sahu, who made our experience extra special. He ensured that every little thing was taken care off and made our stay very enjoyable and comfortable. Right from daily breakfast of our choices at the safari to giving ***** Tea, snacks, cold drinks, Our meals were specially curated and planned by him and we got to have some choicest delicacies from fish to meat & a special birthday lunch of Gavti Chicken Soaji on my wife's birthday. He had arranged for a cake and small decorations. It sure added to the memories of my most favorite day each year and sure put a smile on her face as its always least expected to be able to celebrate in the middle of the Jungle. The whole experience was beyond awesome. Mangesh Dhok held a grand Barbeque with Chicken and Prawns that added to the flavors of the day. We are extremely pleased with our experience at Irai so much so that even before we check out, we had already booked our next stay in the next few months. Few names worth mentioning are Namdev Mama from gate security, Ganesh, Atul and Prakash from the restaurant. Looking forward to being back to this home away from home and Family like ppl who care with utmost love and dedication towards their guests.
