Dangers & annoyances

Muggings and the occasional stabbing have become a serious problem around the Nature Sanctuary over the past few years, so if you plan to visit get a taxi to inside the gate. At night, Malangalanga Rd can be dangerous, and walking to Area 3 is not recommended. The bridge between Area 2 and Area 3 is a favourite haunt for muggers. If you arrive on a bus after dark, take a minibus or taxi to your accommodation.
