Overview

The Safari

The camp is situated in the heart of the man-animal conflict. It very purpose is served in implementing solutions to this conflict. Apart from the movement of the tribal of the area around the lands, the wilderness also moves in and around our premises. Elephants, leopards, wild boar, and deer can be seen quite often from the camp itself. If you are lucky, you may even hear tiger roaring into the night, its terror-stricken prey sounding their alarm calls.

Observation Deck is beautiful place to spend the day and watch the world and its wildlife go by. The neighbouring sugarcane fields are an eerie and fabulous place to see a leopard at night.

At ‘The Bison’ Staff take your Safaris very seriously. Believing your safari, guide and route is the difference between a life defining wildlife holiday and one that is just ordinary. The forest holds immense knowledge and behind every forest lies an untold story. At “The Bison”, staff try and unravel the mysteries together as we share our knowledge and explore the depths of the jungle. This isn’t just about spotting animals, it’s about understanding the whole social structure, emotional bondages, fear and beauty that lies in these woods.

 

The Bison

Boutique Camp, location by the forest, African styled tented accommodation and highly personalized activities, allows us to prioritise safety and give you true wildlife experience.

Serene and tranquil through the day while exciting and adventurous at night; the Bison Resort offers something rustic and luxurious at the very edge of adventure.

The Bison is the only property in the area that overlooks the tourism zone of Nagarhole Tiger Reserve. We are closest to the gate and offer fabulous game viewing, both from camp and on safari.

With our spectacular location, accommodation and services, we promise you a one-of-a-kind exclusive wilderness experience.
