This strictly controlled zone is where all afternoon wildlife safaris take place.
The Huai Luek Wildlife Watching Area is completely separate from the park headquarters. It operates strictly between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM daily. Visitors must hire a mandatory open-air 4x4 safari truck driven by local rangers to enter the grasslands.
Private vehicles are barred from this zone. Safaris here offer a 95% success rate for spotting wild Asian elephants in the late afternoon. Best Viewing Times
15-30 minutesRegistration point
This is the mandatory registration point for the wildlife zone. You pay your entrance fees here and board the park's 4x4 safari trucks. Arrive around 2:30 PM to secure your vehicle. This lets you head into the park just before peak crowds arrive.
30-45 minutesTelephoto lens needed
These elevated wooden structures overlook natural salt licks and open grasslands. Elephant herds frequently gather here to feed in the late afternoon. Keep quiet on the platforms so you do not disturb the wildlife. You will need a telephoto lens or binoculars, as animals stay 100 to 200 meters away.
