The Experience
Secret ivory is the place to stay in if one is here for the wildlife. Located at the fringes of the reserve forest, it is occasionally visited by the jungle denizens. We arrived there in pitch darkness, and the whole atmosphere was that of a stay in the jungle, not outside it. there was a small building with four room, surrounded entirely by darkness and the forest. The first night was spent in fear - were there hyenas outside; or leopards; or elephants?
