Tiger Tops is an unforgettable experience tucked away in the heart of nature. The staff truly make your stay special, and the activities they offer are excellent for both adventure seekers and those wanting relaxation. While the accommodations are simple, I didn’t mind because the focus is clearly on the amazing experiences available, like interacting with the elephants and adventurous safaris. Just a heads-up, don’t expect to spot tigers frequently, but the wildlife experience is still incredible, and the food caters well to dietary needs.
