Come nightfall, Mandai Forest springs to life with nocturnal wonders. Sambar Deer emerge to feed, while Lesser Mousedeer trot gingerly amongst tree roots in search of fallen fruits. Overhead, Colugos and bats feast on a variety of plant food, revealing their presence with glowing eyeshine. Different frog species and native rats call this forest home. Denizen snakes include Wagler's Pit Viper, Elegant Bronzeback, Gold-ringed Cat Snake, Red-tailed Racer, Rat Snakes and more. When rain is plentiful, bioluminescent mushrooms sprout in small clusters, emanating an ethereal green glow. Our UV torch readily picks out Long-tailed and Dwarf Wood Scorpions as they fluoresce a bright blue, alongside the gorgeous hues of reds, yellows and purples emitted by certain plants, lichens, fungi and insects. Other possible sightings include the Wild Pig, Common Palm Civet, Large-tailed Nightjar, forest fireflies, centipedes, pill millipedes, spiders and more. Join us in this night walk for a good dose of forest magic!

* We will have no more than 16 persons per guide. Our walks are held in open and uncrowded areas with plenty of fresh air. The walk will be managed in accordance with the prevailing Covid-19 Safe Management Measures. Minimum 4 persons for the guided walk to proceed.

* The night walk will be led by professional nature guides including Gloria herself.

* This activity is open for adults and children 4 years old and above. We cannot promise any sightings, but we know that the wildlife featured live in this habitat.

* You will need to wear covered shoes and long pants, and bring one good torchlight per person (hand phone torches are too dim). We will be walking about 3 km, sometimes on uneven ground, and a certain level of fitness is required.

* Wet Weather Plans

We will contact you by WhatsApp one hour before the walk to let you know if the walk is cancelled or you can contact Gloria at HP: 9435-0373. As for fees paid, you can choose to do the same walk at a later date or replace it with another wildlife walk of equivalent value (we will be organising more walks throughout 2024).

2. If it is drizzling with no lightning, we will still proceed with our rain gear. Typically, the rain stops after an hour or less. We tend to see a lot more wildlife after a downpour.
