Be prepared to leave an environmental activist, as the wildlife experience is known to touch the deepest recesses of your mind. Nothing makes you more aware of how much we take for granted than a visit to the wild. The sheer majesty of elephants so aware of their power, the enormity of the forest and its ancient secrets, the unblinking gaur that dares you to try stare him down, and if you’re lucky, a glimpse of a tiger or leopard, arrogance clearly written on their feline features: is a resounding lesson in learning to respect nature. With over two hundred species of birds including peafowl, hornbills, woodpeckers, the Crested Hawk Eagle, wagtails, blue jays, partridges, etc. one can spend hours trying to spot as many of these brightly hued winged creatures as possible. VOYE HOMES Oryx Stay Resort is a 05 private bedroom wooden kind cottages in the midst of Muthanga forest valley.
