Guest reviews Evolve Back Kuruba Safari Lodge, Kabini

by Lazlad

Ecstacy !!!

Money's worth after a treacherous 15hr drive from hyderabad. Friends partly played the saviors during the drive. Enter "Evolve Back" and lo ! All the strain forgotten. Pristine locale and a serene feel once you get into the arrival lounge ... from welcome drink to bidding us goodbye (sic!) The support staff have ensured our stay will be memorable. They went the extra mile to arrange food for us at the cottage as we were celebrating one of our friend's 60th Birthday. The weather added to our pleasure coming from 42°c hot hyderabad. High on recommendation to anyone looking for an outing Will be there few more times for sure . Ye dil maange more!!!!. The only sour note was safari ride in a canter 18 seater than Gypsy ride unlike our other safari endeavors. Silver line would have been sighting tiger but were elusive on 2 trips into the forest

Top notch service

This is our second trip to Evolve Back Kabini and we have also stayed at their Coorg resort. So you can already guess that my review will sound like. The cottages are very eco friendly with a rustic took and custom furnishings. The resort grounds are beautiful and well maintained and right next to the Kabini river. Somehow we encountered no mosquitoes. I would like to learn the secret of how they have managed that! The showers are awesome. I have never had so much water pressure and flow anywhere in India! Breakfast and dinner are buffet style but a lot of wait staff to help you get anything. The variety of food is awesome and quite delicious. What we liked most about the place is the staff. They are ALL very friendly and always there to help with a broad smile. In particular, I would like to thank Lokesh for taking such excellent care of us in the dining room. He made sure that all of us got what we wanted and went out of his way to accommodate my 93 year old father-in-law. He even packed lunch for him to take on our way back. The naturalists were also very knowledgeable. Sarath made the nature walk very interesting. The naturalist on our river safari was awesome. The guys who took us on the coracles made it so much fun. Overall a great experience even though we have yet to see the mythical creature called Tiger after 6 safaris in the Kabini area and 2 in Ranthambore :-)

Would move here if I could!!

After our 3rd visit in 6 months, this place is as good as home now. And most because of the people. Deepak, the naturalist took personal care of my family on all safaris. His stories are unbelievable, and so is the man!! Kishan and Bipin are also amazing naturalists and the stories they have. Lokesh, Ritesh and Suman at the bar were omnipresent with a smile and perfect service. Chef Shantanu and Tapan are the best, and took personal care of making sure all our families many food habits were catered to perfectly. And Vijaya at the reception took care of all our fancies. My wife and I will move here forever, only if we could afford it :)

Had a very memorable vacation

This summer we had a particularly memorable vacation. Kabini Resort is a very beautiful property with all imaginable amenities. The coracle ride was delightful, thanks to Mr. Venkatesh. The Boat Safari was very informative and exciting. We were fortunate enough to observe elephants, deer and crocodiles. The staff were the embodiment of courtesy at all times. The restaurant staff, especially Mr Jinto Joseph and Mr Lokesh were all smiles, making us feel very comfortable and at home. We all enjoyed the stay, thanks to all staff.
