This is a nature reserve, less famous and more disciplined than Yala (drivers don't race around the place) but still packed with birds and animals including elephant herds. The diversity and density is surprising; we saw crocodiles, giant hornets nests, peacocks, eagles with nests, buffalo and them elephants all within 20 minutes of starting out.

Photography Tips

Telephoto lens with image stabilization is strongly advised. You're typically shooting from the back of a specially designed Land-rover or Truck
