Wildlife Luxury Resort
SATPURA
Explore Our Exclusive Experiences
One of the few naturalist-run lodges in the Country, Forsyth Lodge is not just a Lodge, but the people that make it.
The Lodge is a fulcrum between the guest experiences and conservation through community engagement. The story goes, Forsyth was built by one of India’s eminent naturalists who designed the Satpura tourism model with the forest department to focus on non-motorized experiences.
Camping Experience
Step beyond the cottages and spend a night under the open sky. Our guided camping experience lets you sleep amidst the sounds of the forest, around a crackling fire, and beneath a canopy of stars — a true wilderness adventure.
Jeep Safari
Venture deep into the wilderness with our expert naturalists on an open-jeep safari. From tracking tigers to spotting sloth bears and the vibrant birdlife of Satpura, every drive is a journey into the heart of the jungle.
Dinner Experiences
Evenings at Forsyth Lodge are as memorable as the safaris. Savor thoughtfully crafted meals inspired by local flavors, served in enchanting settings — from candlelit courtyards to starlit dinners in the wilderness. Every meal is an experience, not just a dining table.
OUR STAYS
As a Leopard seeks respite in the cosiness of his canopy bed, our Gondia cottages and Machaans provide the same comfort and insulation from the Satpura climate, however hot or cold. We do have air-conditioning and heating when you need it. The room is a simple lap of luxury, with small signs of our sustainability efforts peppered all around. We provide you with all the basic amenities and comforts.

FAQ's
We adhere to the responsible eco-tourism guideline of using about 10% of land for construction and allowing the balance to revert to wilderness. We also use live fencing around the property i.e. no barbed wire for better wildlife safety. It’s certainly pretty good as we have had bears (right outside the main building) and leopard pugmarks in the property. We have resident wild boars on the lodge grounds along with rusty spotted cats, jungle cats, spotted deer, Indian hare (Rufous tailed), monitor lizards, jackals and palm civets.
Yes, it is safe to walk on the pathways but its better to be accompanied by any of the staff for a walk in the wilder part of the property. In the night you should always carry a torch, so you do not step on anything unknowingly, this is also the best way to avoid getting bitten by snakes or Scorpions. Animals to venture within the property but they are all extremely shy and usually will stay away from us. We also avoid serving any food in the cottages to avoid mice and their reptilian predators.
No, except for Langurs which do jump on the cottage roofs and trees nearby, the other animals stay a safe distance away from us as they are more scared of us than we are of them
Yes, during the winter months we do provide campfires in outdoor sitting areas, but they must be monitored and managed so that the fire doesn’t spread to the surrounding grassland or forest even by accident.
Yes, all the safaris are child-friendly. However, since we often have to sit still and be very quiet for long periods of time, it’s not fair to expect little kids to do that. For your children you can also explore our Junior Rangers Programme.
Yes, we do accept credit card payments at the property.
