Tadoba Tiger King Resort — Family Safari Near Tadoba
The ideal family base camp for Tadoba adventures — spacious cottages, a pool the kids will love, and safari gates just minutes away. Where every generation of your family finds their own slice of the wild.
Why Choose Tiger King Resort
Resort Overview
Your Family's Tadoba Adventure Starts Here
Tadoba Tiger King Resort was designed from the ground up with Indian family travel in mind — generous spaces, multi-generational entertainment options, hearty meals, and the simplicity of having two of Tadoba's best safari gates just a short drive away.
Set on 12 acres of landscaped grounds with mature mango orchards and indigenous trees, the resort creates an immersive natural setting without sacrificing the comforts that make family travel relaxed. The property borders the Tadoba buffer zone — dawn brings deer to the resort gardens and evenings often surprise guests with civets and jungle cats venturing close to the perimeter fence.
With 20 well-appointed cottages across three categories, the resort comfortably accommodates family groups of all sizes — from couples on their first wildlife holiday to three-generation family reunions building memories in the jungle.

Safari Access
Two Gates, Double the Wildlife
Tiger King Resort's unique location gives guests convenient access to two different Tadoba safari experiences — Moharli Gate (core zone) for the highest tiger density, and Junona Gate (buffer zone) for a more exclusive, less-crowded safari. Our team helps you plan the perfect combination.
Moharli Gate — Core Zone
8 km awayTadoba's most famous gate with the highest tiger density. Our morning departures at 5:30am reach Moharli Gate as it opens at 6:00am. The lodge handles all permit procurement and jeep arrangements. Tigers Maya, Choti Tara, and their territories are accessible from this gate.
Junona Gate — Buffer Zone
15 km awayFor families seeking a quieter experience with fewer vehicles, the Junona buffer zone offers excellent wildlife sightings in a more tranquil setting. Buffer zone permits are easier to secure — ideal for last-minute additions to your safari itinerary.
🎯 Safari Planning Assistance

Guest Reviews
Families Love Tiger King Resort
"Travelled with parents and two kids aged 7 and 10. The kids loved the pool, the bonfire stories, and spotting deer in the resort garden every morning. We saw a tiger on our Moharli safari. The resort made the whole trip seamless — highly recommend for Indian families."
"Great value for money. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the food is excellent — best missal pav I've had! The naturalist arranged a Junona Gate safari as Moharli was fully booked, and we actually preferred the quieter experience. Will come back next year."
"Organized a 10-person family trip including elderly grandparents. The resort staff were incredibly attentive and went above and beyond for the senior members. Safari jeep was arranged with extra cushioning. The bonfire dinner was a highlight everyone still talks about."
