Architecture<br />
The river Rapti was initially right next to the site, giving all the more reason for the buildings to be as they are built - on stilts.<br />
Living inside a jungle – The experience of<br />
a life time!<br />
A typical day at the Tiger Tops starts with an early<br />
morning wake up knock at the door, heralding an exciting<br />
day ahead. The lodge provides a number of ways to<br />
experience the surrounding jungle, be it on elephant<br />
back, jeep or boat safaris or even on a nature walk,<br />
whichever suits the guest. Every outing is accompanied<br />
by experienced naturalists who help not only to spot<br />
the animals, but also inform the guests about the wide<br />
varieties of plants and animals found in the park. Tiger<br />
Tops is the only lodge to require a rigorous examination to<br />
attain the coveted title of naturalist.<br />
Tiger Tops also has a tented camp, some 7 kilometres<br />
away from the lodge. The tented camp, with twelve tents<br />
overlooking the Reu River Valley, provides not only an<br />
outdoors experience at the jungle, but also lets one view<br />
the wildlife from right in front of their tents.<br />
All in all, a visit to the Tiger Tops Jungle Resort is a<br />
complete experience of living inside a jungle, surrounded<br />
by elephant grass instead of concrete walls and waking<br />
up to the sound of the birds and the fresh air blowing<br />
down the Reu!<br />
