Ken River Lodge, Panna National Park, Madhya Pradesh, India

We arrive at the lodge park in good time. Today we have covered 410km, on varying road conditions. There is still a little sunlight when we get shown to our lodges. This is a very remote region.

We all settle for drinks and chicken Tandoori. The group discusses what to do with the extra day we have gained by today's long drive. We agree to spend the extra night here in the lodges. This gives us a much needed late start tomorrow.
