Special Tip

As the road to the park is prone to elephant blocks and typically closes by 6:00 PM, try to arrive there before sundown. Take a boat cruise in the late afternoon to see the elephants. Though the chances are extremely slim, if you're lucky, you might be able to see a tiger in these forests.lot Always wear supportive shoes because you might need to move around the facility a lot.
