During my recent trip to Kabini, I stayed in Serai's Kabini property. Spread over huge acres of land, this property is situated overlooking the river, however due to peak of summer the water levels have subsided significantly and as such the view is somewhat boring. Cottages/villages are supreb, luxury personified. The rooms were large and spacious, and it has all... More

We loved this place !! Let me tell you why ! 1. The last 13km to the resort isnt that bad. most of the road is levelled, and some of the road is cemented too. Dare i say, even a 'Reva' could do justice here ! 2. The resort itself is clean, open ... and remote !! I did get... More

I love Kibini. This is my second time visiting the park. Last time was 8 years ago and the only choice was the government's lodges. The Serai is definitely a cut above. The rooms are excellent. I really like that they are separate units. I especially thought the food was good. Massages at the spa are very good. But of... More

It's like just another 5-Star resort, and is far away from the forest or woods. The staff tries hard to sell you their jungle safari or their boat rides. Food is very good. I wasn't too happy about the presence of A/C luxury in the middle of nowhere. For all the travel on gravel roads when we thought we are... More

We stayed in serai kabini this weekend.It was not on par with the serai chikmaglur or the bandipur resorts though the price is almost the same.I was so dissopointed with the quality of the resort. They have taken over the cicada resorts and not changed anything, including the staff who are most unprofessional.The tackiness of the resort is overshadowed by... More

The resort is very nice and peaceful. Only problem we had was the food, it was below average. You could take bicycles to the rivers, go for a nature walk within the resort. The boat safari we went was amazing, if you are a bird watcher, you will love it! we saw lot of elephants, deers, few crocodiles, bison, tortoise... More

The Serai is a great place to unwind and do things at ones own pace. The service, facilities & food at the resort is excellent. They could do a tad bit more about the ambience considering its a 5 start property. Jungle, boat safari & kayaking were good fun. Over all a very relaxing, peaceful and scenic experience. Would love... More

Serai is the best place to stay in Kabini, Its a 5 star facility in wilderness on the banks of river. Food is great and facilities it provides for site seeing and stuff is just amazing without any loopholes. Highly recommended for trip to kabini.
