As a wild life enthusiast myself, I always wanted to own a place of my own , owing to a relationship with nature established early in my life. It‘s to feed my own interest that the property was first established. My family and I spend most of our vacations here at this little piece of heaven. While visiting the Yala National Park in search of good sightings is on the top of my favorite things to do while in the area, local culture, architecture and food interest me too. However personally nothing tops the feeling of seeing a wild cat in close proximity or close encounters with elephants, bears and the deer. I also enjoy the bird life at my property as well as at the park. Photographing bird life, has become a recent interest . Speak to me and I shall be happy to assist you with planning your journey.
