Serene and tranquil through the day yet exciting and stimulating at night; the Bison, a boutique tented camp, the first of its kind in India, offers luxury at the very heart of adventure.
"The Bison' is situated at the confluence of the Bandipur and Nagarhole National Parks , on the shores of the exotic Kabini river in Karnataka (West of Mysore), which offers you the perfect wild life adventure. Your safari will be in the Kakkankote Range which includes the backwaters of the Kabini, superb grasslands, lush bamboo, rose wood, sandal wood and teak forests with strategically placed water holes and salt licks. Excellent grazing grasslands ensure sightings of the elephant, gaur, sambar, chital, wild dog and wild boar throughout the year from the camp. The tiger & leopard are sighted with regularity in national park.
The decor and ambience of the camp recreates the adventurous decadence of a bygone era. Wooden floors, elegant linen, beautiful artifacts, old cabin trunks and other original antiques seek to enhance the rustic setting of the camp site.
Each tent is lavishly furnished with double beds, writing and dressing tables, full length mirror and arm chairs. En-suite bathrooms with expansive showers are a visual treat.
