“Many people are facing difficulties in enjoying the safari at Chandaka Wildlife Sanctuary at daytime due to their busy work schedule. These people can now enjoy the safari at night. The visitors can watch wild animals like deer, wild boars and elephants during the night safari,” he added.

Wildlife enthusiasts, researchers and students will be hugely benefitted by the initiative. They can now watch many nocturnal animals and observe them closely during the night safari at Chandaka, Nanda said.

There will be no safari facility at the sanctuary from 9.30 pm to 9.30 am, added the PCCF.
