Overview
Part of the fun is not knowing what you will see. These are the animals guests ask about most, with a word on where your rider will look. Wildlife is wild: sightings are natural and never promised, and some mornings are quiet while others are full of life.
Watching without disturbing
We do not chase animals for a better photo. The boat keeps its distance and its engine low, because animals that feel safe stay where you can see them. If you are curious about anything, ask your rider what is normal for the season.
Kingfishers
Small, bright and quick. Watch low branches over the water, where they wait before diving.
Herons
Tall and patient, often standing perfectly still at the water's edge until the sudden strike.
Egrets
Slim white birds feeding along the banks. They stand out sharply against dark green leaves.
Cormorants
Dark diving birds, often seen with wings spread to dry on posts and fishing stakes.
Water monitors
Large, calm lizards that swim well and bask on roots and banks. They look fierce but keep clear of boats.
Crocodiles
They live in the wetland, but sightings are occasional. Riders keep a safe distance and never go looking for them.
Giant squirrels
Large, colourful squirrels that stay high in the trees. Listen for the call, then look up.
Monkeys
Troops move through the trees along the banks. Please do not feed them.

Good to know: Wildlife sightings are natural and never guaranteed. Keep your distance, avoid feeding animals, and let your rider guide you when observing wildlife.
