About the property:

The Blackbuck Lodge is one of the most amazing wildlife resorts of Western India. Sitting comfortably amid the Savannah, the superbly appointed cottages of The Blackbuck Lodge offer an opportunity to luxuriate in the wilderness. Lodged in a luxurious room with wide-ranging modern conveniences, gaze out of the deck at the changing colours of the grasslands and the wealth of wildlife. The elegant Indian antelope, called blackbuck, venture close to the cottages, while globally-threatened birds can be seen in the bushes. For more wildlife experiences, the lodge provides safaris in customized jeeps with experienced drivers and guides/spotters. Book a Bush Dinner which is a romantic experience with a beautiful setting enhanced by scores of lanterns, a bonfire and an open barbecue under the star-lit skies. Nestled along the Velavadar National Park, Blackbuck Lodge is set in several acres of plains owned by its promoters who hail from a village in Gujarat’s Kathiawad Peninsula just about an hour from Velavadar. The barren lands were reclaimed over the years by planting indigenous vegetation and allowing the Savannah grasslands to take over the plains. This has created a wildlife paradise where herds of antelope, the endangered Indian grey wolf and globally-threatened birds can be seen. The centerpiece of the resort is a water body that has been created like a natural lake with aquatic vegetation. Along the water body are canopied sit-outs from where you can get close views of birdlife on the edge of the lake.
