Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) has announced the signing of a new Taj Safaris property in Satpura, marking a strategic expansion in India’s wildlife and eco-tourism segment. This greenfield project further strengthens IHCL’s footprint in Madhya Pradesh, where it already operates lodges across key national parks.

Commenting on the development, Suma Venkatesh, Executive Vice President – Real Estate & Development, IHCL, said, “India offers a significant opportunity to expand the wildlife and eco-tourism segment. The signing of Taj Safaris, Satpura reflects this potential and strengthens our presence in Madhya Pradesh.”

Developed in partnership with Sarvapratham Hospitality Private Limited, the upcoming lodge will be located approximately two hours from Bhopal Airport. Spread across 30 acres, the 20-key property will offer an immersive nature-led experience, complete with an all-day dining restaurant and bar.

Set amidst dense forests and undulating terrain, the lodge is positioned to offer curated wildlife experiences led by trained naturalists. The region, part of Satpura National Park, is known for its rich biodiversity and frequent wildlife sightings, especially during the summer months.

The park is home to species such as the Bengal tiger, leopards, sloth bears, Indian bison, along with over 300 bird species and numerous reptiles, making it a key destination for wildlife enthusiasts.

Representing the owning company, Kunal Giani, Vishal Premchandani, and Kapil Premchandani said, “We are pleased to partner with IHCL to bring Taj Safaris to Satpura. This development aligns with our vision of celebrating the region’s unique ecological character.”

With this addition, IHCL will expand its Taj Safaris portfolio in Madhya Pradesh to five lodges, including one under development, reinforcing its leadership in India’s luxury wildlife hospitality space.
