Forsyth Estate is a small, intimate wildlife lodge set in 44 acres of reclaimed jungle on the edge of the Satpura Tiger Reserve. Built using traditional methods, it is designed in clusters of 3 cottages to provide optimum privacy and views across the surrounding brush and scrub. Occupying just 10% of total land, the owner’s emphasis here is to form an intimate connection with local communities and wildlife in an effort to provide guests with an authentic wilderness experience.
There are just 12 cottages at the Forsyth Estate, all with spacious rooms and large windows to take in the outdoor views. All rooms are decorated with traditional antique furniture and colourful rugs. The central lodge is where everyone congregates after safari drives for a drink and houses the dining room with a large tree-trunk table. There is also a lounge where naturalist briefings take place, an eco-friendly swimming pool and outdoor spaces in shade around the lodge to relax.
Satpura National park is one of the least known and least visited park in Central India. The advantage is that you can watch more wildlife at your own convenience without being disturbed. There are two daily game drives which are included in your stay at Forsyth's Lodge. The park is a great place to see sloth bear and other wildlife including sambar, chital, nilgai, four-horned antelope, bison, wild boar and wild dog etc. The park is not the best for seeing tiger and leopard but they are occasionally seen.
