2015年，我独自一人首次造访苏扬贾瓦伊，当时的体验让我赞不绝口。因此，当我预订回程——这次是和家人一起——时，我略感犹豫——这次的行程会不会像记忆中那么美好？其实，我不应该担心——这次旅行是为了庆祝我在苏扬贾瓦伊度过的“里程碑式”生日——而我们在这里的住宿是整个旅程的亮点。很难描述这个营地和它的位置有多么特别——但它绝对是我最喜欢的狩猎旅行目的地之一。我还欣赏了营地开展的野化工作，这使得豹子数量以及鸟类和其他野生动物的种类都大幅增加。我们的导游阿尔潘（Arpan）非常出色，我们在每次驱车旅行中都看到了豹子——即使是在那些专注于欣赏壮丽景色的旅程中！营地本身无可挑剔——帐篷布置精美，设施齐全，露台上甚至还铺着瑜伽垫！工作人员真是太棒了——每个人都非常专业，服务周到。我生日那天，工作人员布置了一个令人惊叹的私人用餐区，还送了我一个非常美味的蛋糕。感谢大家让我的生日如此难忘——我们希望很快能再次光临！

荒野中央的大营地。这段旅程非常难以通行，只能乘坐酒店提供的吉普车才能完成。住宿是帐篷风格的，超级现代、干净、时尚。工作人员的服务和友善都很棒。该营地涉及邻近的村庄和学校。 80%的员工都是穿着自己服装的当地人。穿着自己传统服装的当地人总是给人一种潜入另一个世界的感觉——真的很棒。所提供的豹子狩猎之旅的组织和实施都非常出色。我们的导游很出色——额外的赞扬。

6 月份，我们在 Sujan 住了 2 晚。大约一周前，我们在 Ramthanbore 的 A*** 住了 3 晚。印度用于狩猎的吉普车通常较小，大约可容纳 4 人。我们在 Ramthanbore 有一辆私人吉普车，但根据我们最初的计划，在 Jawai 必须合租。我的镜头相对较长，如果必须与另一对夫妇合租，会有点拥挤。因此，我们在抵达前几天向 Sujan 索要一辆私人吉普车。他们给我们报价 1,600 多美元（我猜包括政府税费和其他费用），用于 4 次 2 小时的狩猎。我们很震惊。在 Ramthanbore 时，我曾与导游聊过，大致了解了驾驶吉普车的费用（但远不及这个数字）。如果我们仍处于计划阶段，我们就会跳过这个酒店。但在这个节骨眼上，我们真的别无选择，只能支付。第一天，地面上大约有 5-6 辆吉普车，令我们失望的是，每辆吉普车上不超过 2 名客人，第二天也是如此。显然，只有另外一对夫妇也支付了私人吉普车的费用。现在，我们要求提供服务，他们提供了服务，尽管价格过高。这没有什么违法的，我们不必接受。但这是否是贪婪？没错。以后再也不会和这些人做生意了。

在伦滕波尔的安缦酒店度过了美好的时光后，我们来到了苏扬·贾瓦伊酒店。根据所有的宣传，我们期待着类似的体验，但结果却截然不同。我承认，来之前我们对这里印象并不深刻，因为我们的旅行代理人提前很久就以高得离谱的价格预订了一辆私家车，结果被告知必须在2月1日之前联系他们。之后，他们仍然推卸责任，说既然营地已经满了，他们再看看能不能安排。作为一名经验丰富的非洲狩猎旅行老手，我支付了私家车的费用，因为我们不想让新手旅行者因为想在一个地方待更长时间而放弃继续旅行。我对帐篷印象不佳。全黑的帐篷和狩猎旅行营地格格不入，但这只是我个人的看法。帐篷里的家具和床都很不舒服。地板上的黄麻地毯散发着一股臭味。这张床让我想起了电影里看到的监狱床，只不过它有床头板。浴室很大，淋浴间与浴室等宽。问题是，如果你离开提供的橡胶地垫去拿肥皂，你可能会滑倒。餐饮服务人员一定是当地人，而且训练不足。他们会在你吃完之前试图收走你的盘子。既然他们在狩猎车辆上不提供早餐，他们为什么要在晚餐时问你想吃什么早餐？他们没有在狩猎车辆上或你离开前的休息/礼品站提供任何小吃，只停下来喝一杯，但我们拒绝了。至于看到豹子，那是运气。你可能会或可能不会看到，如果你看到了，可能是近距离或很远的距离。他们的尼康双筒望远镜无法与顶级狩猎营地提供的施华洛世奇望远镜相比。我知道其中的区别，因为我带了自己的施华洛世奇望远镜，但当我妻子用我们的施华洛世奇望远镜时，我用的是他们的尼康。食物绝对是二流的。他们每天都有相同的菜单，所以如果你想要鸡肉（不是印度风味）而不想吃鱼、羊肉或蔬菜，你只会得到同样的东西。我连续 3 晚吃了同样的晚餐。早餐的水果不够熟，整根香蕉都是从冰箱里直接拿出来的冷的。馕也不好吃。这怎么可能？他们最好的东西是羊角面包，看起来太好吃了，不像是那里从头开始做的。沙拉也还行，但你不能只靠沙拉和面包过活。这里的 Wi-Fi 是我在印度住过的各家酒店中最好的，这绝对是一个加分项。相信我的话。这个地方被高估了，价格过高，而且他们没有兑现承诺。不要相信所有的 Instagram 帖子或旅行顾问的 5 星评价。作为一名长期的世界旅行者，我不会向任何人推荐这个地方，仅仅因为一个地方很贵，我不会给他们好评，除非他们值得。而他们确实不值得。如果你真的想看豹子，那就去非洲吧，因为那里有更多机会近距离观察它们。PS：我们对着它们尖叫了好多遍

A truly outstanding experience and camp. The environs, ambience, service and food were all sublime. This property is slightly remote - which is a joy, although it perfectly dissects the journey from Jodhpur to Udaipur or vv. The welcome, care and relaxed atmosphere is so calming and this wilderness is the perfect balance to hectic cities. This camp has the best staff I have encountered in 25 years of travelling. Their relaxed smiles, expertise and uncomplicated ease of service is a very well balanced and winning formula. Thankyou.

Sujan exceeded all of our expeditions in all aspects, the ambiance, the entire team, the attention to detail, it was amazing. We got to enjoy every amenity; the spa, the pool, the excellent food and most importantly the safari. Our guide, Annan, was very committed and answered every question we threw at him, his enthusiasm and awe was transmitted to us. Not to forget our wonderful driver during the safari that flawlessly took us through the rough and tricky terrain.

What an experience… we’ve been fortunate enough to have visited and stay in beautiful places and hotels but this is right up there. We saw leopards morning and late afternoon. The guide (Sid) was a fountain of knowledge and a brilliant host. Our rooms were simply amazing and the staff too (special shout out to Fateh who served us meals). The food was top class and all sourced locally or grown onsite! You have to go!

This camp epitomizes luxury in the middle of a stunning, remote wilderness where leopards are the featured attraction. Our exceptional guide, SP, put us within 30 feet of a beautiful female leopard on our first afternoon game drive. His keen eye spotted many leopards during our stay ***** with a variety of wildlife and birds. Large, stylish tents have comfy beds and are beautifully appointed. The dining menu is international in scope, serving everything from pizza to traditional Indian Thali...and a well stocked bar. For those who do not wish to walk a long distance from the to the dining, library and pool, request a tent that is close to the communal areas. This is a marvelous safari experience...not to be missed in India. Don't forget a pair of gloves for the early morning game drives in winter!

An incredible unforgettable experience in an amazing camp. From the moment you are picked up by the jeep and your naturalist for your stay the magic begins. All the rooms are now solid structures with an outside seating area. Your bedroom and bathroom are filled with photos of leopards and local decorations and the beds are extremely comfortable. All meals are included and there is an Indian and an international menu. At night everyone gathers for drinks round camp fires lit by hundred of lanterns and when it is dark à tribesman in wonderful costume lights you back to your room.The safari drives are at 4:30pm and 6:30am with a warm drink served before you start and towards the end ( unless you are chasing a leopard sighting !) we saw several leopards on each drive, the male right beside the jeep.The terrain is amazing, spectacular in itself. Our naturalist SP was incredibly knowledgeable and a joy to talk to as well as being an outstanding driver, Surjan’s ethos I s to re wild and manage the flora to encourage the animals and to support the local villages through education, animal husbandry etc. The staff are all charming and keen to make your stay memorable there was no downside to this experience

There are two sides to Jawai, the leopards and the camp. Both are superb. During the Covid closure the camp was made permanent, the accommodation is fantastic, comfortable with excellent bathrooms. The camp at night is let by paraffin lights, hanging from the trees and on hooks down the walkways. The staff are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble. Excellent food, comfortable beds, hot water bottles, first class bed linen and towels create the backdrop to the main event - the wildlife. One word - superb. Wonderfully knowledgeable guides and a system to discover the leopards.
