Day 1
After a road transfer from Lucknow to the Camp, enjoy a fresh welcome drink and settle into your rooms by the afternoon.
Take some time to unwind by the plunge pool with your favorite drink or go for a swim and enjoy your first sunset in the jungle. This is the time to disconnect and appreciate the open skies, fresh air, and sounds of nature.
At night, savor a delicious dinner made from local ingredients and sit by the fireside to enjoy the star-studded sky.
Day 2 & 3
Early mornings set the stage for thrilling adventures with a wake-up call before dawn and an exhilarating jeep safari in search of Tigers, the Indian One Horned Rhinos, wild elephants, crocodiles, various species of mammals, along with over 400 bird species.
Witness the jungle come alive during the golden light of dawn as you enjoy a ‘bonnet breakfast’- a spread of wholesome and locally prepared assortment of delicacies that you enjoy on the bonnet of your jeep in the middle of the forest.
Back to the lodge by late morning, you’ll have some time to unwind. Post lunch, leave for an afternoon safari which presents further opportunities to witness the wonders of Dudhwa National Park
Note: In place of any of the safaris, you can opt for a birding session, or simply rest at the lodge.
Day 4
Enjoy a leisurely morning at your own pace, indulge in the amenities of your accommodations, or step out for a nature walk and marvel at the wild beauty of this remote tarai oasis.
Head out for another safari after lunch, driving along the straight, canopy-filled trails that offer opportunity to spot tigers from miles away.
On the last night of this experience, let your guide take you to a beautiful spot where you can watch the sun go down with your favorite drink in hand, bonding with your guide and travel companions, reminiscing about the past few days and exchanging stories- the Signature Ameliya Sundowner.
Day 5
Wake up early and embark on a final awe-inspiring morning safari. Make a mental note to return soon as you take in the beautiful jungle roads for the last time (until your next adventure).
After a heartwarming breakfast, bid farewell to the animals, your lodge, and your newfound safari friends.
