    Stay for the twilight ambiance. The park remains open until 17:00, but you are already inside. Use this time to reflect on the conservation mission before heading out.

Local tip

The park is open from 08:00 to 17:00. Since sunset is at 17:56, you will need to exit before the official closing time if you wish to stay for the full sunset. Check the route for your return transport.

Check before you go

  • Park hours are 08:00-17:00 daily.
