Shergarh Tented Camp
Kanha National Park

Tucked away on the quieter, southern edge of Kanha National Park, Shergarh Tented Camp offers a peaceful and immersive wildlife experience far removed from the more heavily trafficked northern zones. This charming eco-retreat is owned and managed by Jehan and Katie, a warm and welcoming couple whose passion for nature and conservation shines through in every detail. Jehan, a seasoned naturalist with deep roots in the region, brings the forest to life with his exceptional knowledge of its flora and fauna. His wife Katie, originally from England, adds a touch of understated elegance and hospitality, creating a balance that makes Shergarh feel both adventurous and comfortably familiar.

Shergarh’s owners are also connected to The Bhuj House, a heritage homestay in their ancestral native town of Bhuj, Gujarat. While not a commercial sister hotel in Kanha, this property offers a cultural complement; an elegant, family-run stay that reflects the Bhujwalas’ broader heritage hospitality and conservation ethos.

With only six spacious tents thoughtfully scattered around a serene waterhole, Shergarh guarantees privacy and tranquility. Each tent is shaded by mature trees, offering cool respite from the midday heat and often attracting visits from birds, butterflies and the occasional curious langur. The tents are simple yet elegant, blending traditional design with modern comforts, expect large beds, en-suite bathrooms with hot showers and front verandas perfect for morning tea or evening birdwatching.

What truly sets Shergarh apart is its intimate and personal atmosphere. The camp is run with a quiet efficiency and warmth that makes guests feel more like houseguests than tourists. Meals are freshly prepared using local ingredients, often served al fresco under the stars or by the fire on cooler nights. Conversations flow easily around the communal table, often revolving around the day’s sightings or local lore shared by Jehan and his team.

Game drives into the park are expertly guided and tailored to guest interests, with the southern zone offering excellent chances of spotting Kanha’s famed tigers, barasingha (swamp deer), leopards and a rich array of birdlife, all without the crowds found in busier parts of the park. Beyond the safari, Shergarh provides unique opportunities to explore the cultural and natural heritage of Madhya Pradesh. Guests can join guided forest walks, cycle through nearby villages, or take part in traditional cooking demonstrations. These immersive experiences offer a deeper connection to the land and its people, allowing visitors to understand the rhythms of rural life and the interdependence between communities and conservation.

Shergarh is more than just a base for wildlife safaris, it's a sanctuary for nature lovers, a place where luxury lies in the details, and where time slows down to the pace of the jungle. Whether you're a first-time visitor to India or a seasoned wildlife enthusiast, Shergarh Tented Camp promises an unforgettable stay marked by warm hospitality, meaningful encounters and a deep sense of place.

To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.

Client Testimonials

We really enjoyed the trip and were happy that we squeezed so much into a few short days. The Burmese people were lovely and the sites were fantastic. We really enjoyed the balloon ride and would highly suggest it to others in the future. The trip went super smoothly and a good time plus learning happened for all. Yangon was nice as the Strand was quite amazing and we of course loved the giant gold temple. Many thanks for all of your help and look forward to future travel with you.
- Wallace Family, Burma
Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
- Mr Wyburd, Philippines
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka
Ballyfin was great - we loved it! Best things were the amount of space, it felt like you had the whole place to yourself, the history of the house, and the staff. We'd definitely recommend it. Thanks very much for all the help getting it booked!
- Mr Wyburd, Ireland
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
We have just returned back from a wonderful trip. Thank you very much for organising everything. The transfer was excellent – for once they had perfect car seats. The villa was lovely, just what we needed and the hotel had helpfully put us as far away as possible from everyone else. The breakfast buffet was the best I have ever seen – and I am slightly obsessive over breakfast!! There was an incredible choice, something for everyone and so beautifully presented. A real highlight of the trip. Thank you again for sorting everything - and at such short notice!
- Redmayne family, Phuket
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
- Carruthers family, North India
I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
- Anonymous, India
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
I barely know where to begin... though a sincere 'thank you' would be the best. You have organised this trip perfectly. May was an inspiring and delightful companion in Myanmar – thoroughly professional and friendly at the same time. My accommodation throughout has been superb, especially The Governor's Residence and The Mandarin Oriental. The view from the cottage at Inle Lake was beautiful and I loved every moment of being there. And here I am now on the last leg of this extended holiday at my favourite place. I could stay here for ever, the peace, silence and surroundings all amazing, plus the people and the whole aura of Vana. Thank you for much, and I look forward to speaking to you on my return.
- Ms Margulies, Burma, India & Thailand
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
