Wildlife Safari

Wildlife Safaris in this region of Goa are an awesome opportunity to explore the wild side of Goa.   If luck is on your side, you may also spot a major carnivore like Leopard or Black Panther. Sloth Bears are also seen at times. Locals in the forest often report seeing a tiger as well. Walking safaris in the forests of the Western Ghats are a wonderful experience - as they rank as one of the 18 most biodiverse regions on the planet. You may also opt for additional walking trails to enjoy sights of butterflies, arthropods, birds, reptiles and other fauna. Climb on tree-top machans and watch towers to look at the forest from a bird’s eye view. Your patient wait atop a watch tower may yield you a sighting of a major mammal while they are busy quenching their thirst.
