Timeline
15:50
Arrive early to settle in. The park opens at 09:00 and closes at 17:00, so you have plenty of time to explore the mini zoo or elephant rides before the light changes.
16:35
Find a quiet spot in the wildlife area. Since there are no nearby food or drink shops listed in the immediate vicinity, bring your own snack or drink to enjoy while waiting for the sun to dip.
17:20
Watch the golden light wash over the trees. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting long shadows across the savannah-like landscape.
17:50
Stay for the sunset. The sky turns deep orange and purple as the sun disappears below the horizon at 17:51. The park closes at 17:00, so ensure you are ready to exit or have made prior arrangements if staying past closing time is permitted under specific conditions not detailed here. Check the route for your return trip.
Local tip
The park closes at 17:00. If you plan to stay for the full sunset experience at 17:51, please check if extended hours or special access is available, as standard operations end before the sun sets.
