Photographers Comment: The
climb from the entrance up to where you start to explore the park is steep
although not particularly steep, it goes on for a long way. Then it is
undulating while under the canopy before going on the canopy walk made up of 7
bridge links over 120ft in the air.
While on the ground you see quite a lot of
butterflies, and a variety of different trees and plant types. On the canopy
walk I saw butterflies, a couple of lizard like creatures and birds from some way
off. Looking down over the top of trees you cannot see what is below them.
There is other wildlife but probably in other
parts of the park, including forest elephants, a breed smaller than the African
elephants found in open places.
Ideally you need two camera bodies
one set up for photographing butterflies which perch and then fly on, and
another for more general shots. I did not photograph any of the butterflies,
although I saw a number of different types, some quite large. You cannot follow
the butterflies here. There
is scope if you are fit enough, to go further into this park in search of
a range of other animals from monkeys to elephants, but you would need a local
guide. To get a good selection of butterflies you would probably get the best
results if you took along plants that would attract them. |
