Wildlife: Surround Yourself with Wildlife Over the Weekend
A part of Bannerghatta National Park has been converted into a natural rescue and rehabilitation habitat for wild animals that have been found in tragic circumstances in wildlife reserves in the Karnataka and beyond. Barricaded in high fences with ample space for the wild animals, the premise is ideal for a wildlife safari. The animals are maintained by the Karnataka Forest Department and the safari gives you a sense of encountering these otherwise dangerous animals in the wild, which can be quite breathtaking.

STAY & FOOD Was really good. It was maintained really well with good service and co-operation from the staffs but the numbers of accommodations are less. Probably we would return in next few months to experience much better with long duration of stay and find more luxurious stay next time.
