How this list is built

Lodges in reserves whose sources highlight birdlife, with river-setting lodges first, then walks in the rate, then price.

84 lodges qualify, with at most two per operator so one brand doesn't fill the list. Rankings use only facts shown on the lodge pages, with sources. Nothing is paid placement and nothing is based on reviews.
