Varawal Jawai Leopard Safari Camp
$120-200/ 晚
如果以下情况适用，请预订 You want an intimate, family-run leopard safari that feels like staying at a friend's farm rather than a commercial resort.
为什么人们喜欢它
- Host Pushpendra Singh's encyclopedic knowledge of local leopards
- Authentic home-cooked Rajasthani meals from the host's mother
- Only 4 tents ensure a private, uncrowded safari experience
快速了解： This is a glamping farmstay in the middle of nowhere, not a polished 5-star hotel—come for the cats, not the room service.
@thatgirl_nikitaa 的评论: I honestly didn't expect to get this close to leopards! The safari was intense in the best way, but coming back to a proper bed and that home-cooked Rajasthani food made it perfect. You have to do the evening wildlife session—it changed how I saw everything.
住过这里的客人说
Reality check
The WiFi is functional but slow, and the 'roads' leading to the property are essentially bumpy dirt tracks.
- You prioritize wildlife sightings over swimming pools
- You enjoy communal dining and chatting with hosts
- You want to support local conservationists rather than big hotel chains
清洁与维护

- Housekeeping: Impeccable. Tents are swept daily and kept dust-free despite the arid environment.
- Bathroom hygiene: Spotless western bathrooms. No mold, clean grout, fresh towels.
- Maintenance: Excellent. Zippers on tents work, ACs are functional, furniture is sturdy.
- Linens & towels: Crisp white linens, surprisingly high quality for a tented camp.
- Odors & scents: Fresh air and the scent of dry earth/campfire. No mustiness.

- Warm layers (fleece/jacket) for morning safaris, even in March

“Hi Pushpendra, we are so excited to visit. If possible, could we request the 'Neelam' tent or whichever is furthest from the generator for maximum quiet? We'd also love to book a morning safari.”

内部人士建议
- ✨
Ask for the 'Theme Breakfast' on the Jawai Dam—it's a private setup by the water and worth the extra cost.
- ✨
The host, Pushpendra, is a serious photographer; ask him for camera settings advice before the safari.
- ✨
Visit the 'Leopard Temple' (Dev Giri) nearby where priests claim leopards visit peacefully.
出发前需要了解的5件事
💡The 'roads' are barely roads; prepare for a bumpy final 20 minutes.
💡You might see leopards right from the camp perimeter if you're lucky.
💡Hot water is available but relies on geysers that need a few minutes to heat up.
💡There is no TV in the tents (intentionally).
💡Mobile network is decent for calls but data can be 3G speeds.
