Evolve Back, Kabini

Facilities

The eco-friendly accommodation has separate living areas with home from home comforts. Some have outdoor Jacuzzis while others have plunge pools. Highly recommended are the Pool Reserves, complete with heated pool and river-facing star beds.

The two restaurants are the Karuba Grill and the Honeycomb. Alternatively, a private dining experience can be arranged. Additional amenities include the Ayurvedic Centre, a reading sanctuary with unlimited coffee and books to hand. The infinity pool appears to merge with the Kabini river. Later in the day enjoy high tea from here and take time to watch the sun go down with a post-safari cocktail.

Children are well catered for with a swimming pool, slide and on-site activity centre. Please note wifi is intentionally limited in certain areas.
