Embarking on a boat safari along the Madu Ganga (river) is like entering a hidden world.
These expansive mangroves are rich in biodiversity and house numerous species of endemic
flora and fauna. This unique experience appeals to all travellers. Be sure to keep an
eye out for animals like birds, monitor lizards, and even crocodiles as you glide across
the glassy emerald waters.
The Madu Ganga is in proximity to the coast, making it an exciting and easy excursion from our
property. This expansive river is peppered with islets, and on the larger islands, cinnamon is
grown.On your safari, you can visit one of these islands to learn about the intricate process of
how this fragrant spice is grown. Should you have any questions about this experience, our team
will be eager to assist you.
