Although the guide will tell you that there are 240 elephants’ in the forest, as well as 40 other mammal species, and over 300 different species of birds, in reality you are unlikely to see very much wildlife at all.

Unique Suggestions: We went early in the morning, just after dawn at 06:30, which is reputed to offer the best animal viewing opportunities, but we hardly even saw a bird, let alone anything ‘interesting’ in the way of animals. We heard some rustling in the trees, which the guide claimed to be monkeys, and saw some tiny little birds in the tree tops, but that was all!

It is, however, a beautiful experience, especially in the early morning mist, and offers you an opportunity to see the rainforest canopy from a viewpoint otherwise not presented to ordinary travellers. We did not actually expect to see any mammals, having walked across a few of these walkways before, so we weren’t actually disappointed.
