Indu Mathi★★★★★

One of the best place at masanagudi. No doubts on booking them as they provide wonderful home cooked meals, clean stay, good ambience and specially very good host. And if you take the private safari w them it’s going to be quite an experience. Very knowledgeable guide. Overall it felt like beautiful two days vacation.

Mani Vannan★★★★★

We recently stayed in Wild Ways Resort. They provided a safe and secure environment for my family’s stay. Rooms were very neat and clean. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed spotting various animals right from our accommodation itself during night time. The proximity to the river added to the serene ambiance of the resort.

Malcom S★★★★★

Pleasant place to stay. The place is right opposite to a Stream where you can hear the water gushing sound frequently. You may see Leopard, Elephant near this home stay. Owner is easy approachable, good person. You will get a good home food in this homestay. We can spot wild animals like Leopard, Tiger in safari ride based on luck. Overall great experience. Must visit again.

Mohammed Zaffar★★★★★

Highly recommended: experience their wooden rooms and enjoy authentic home-cooked meals. You’ll wake up to the calls of deer and peacocks. Sharuk’s extensive knowledge of the forest and its wildlife adds to the experience. If you’re lucky, you might spot elephants or leopards right outside your wildways.

Debora★★★★★

I recently stayed at a lovely homestay and I couldn’t have been happier with my experience. The owner was incredibly helpful and made sure everything was clean and comfortable for my stay. The homemade food prepared by his mother was an absolute delight and added an extra special touch to the experience. Highly recommend!

Harshitha Harshi★★★★★

This homestay is really budget friendly and family friendly. All the staffs are too friendly. They provide home cooked food and tastes good. We felt safe like as if we are in our house. They take you to Safari with their own Jeep. Totally their hospitality is good. Can again visit this place.

Bharathi Malladi★★★★★

A lovely quiet and homely place to stay. Waking up to the gushing of the stream waters and chirping of birds was delightful. Abid and family were gracious and attentive. Yummy hot fresh food just like home made by Indra. Haarish helped us plan our safaris and sighting in leisurely manner. Had a wonderful time at Wildways.
