All of Goa has some sensational experiences and attractions to show you. But in northern Goa you will find the Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary, and if you decide to visit there (any day but a Thursday) you will be delighted and enchanted by an experience many tourists opt for during their stay.

The sanctuary itself is located in Usgao, and it boasts many different animals worth seeing. It is also not far to the north west of the Mollem National Park, which also provides plenty to enjoy on a day out. It is the earlier and later months of the year that offer the best opportunity to see something new here. For example if you travel to Goa later in the year you should visit between October and December to see the best of the sanctuary. The first three months of the year are equally as good in this respect, so if you want to visit you should plan your holiday accordingly.

You will see many mammals and reptiles during your visit to the Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary – some of which you may have seen before. But you will also have the chance to see some more unusual specimens that may be new to you. How about the barking deer for example? Or perhaps the Malabar giant squirrels are worth watching out for? One thing is for certain – you will definitely be educated in ways you never imagined by seeing what goes on in the sanctuary. This is a haven for many animals that may not have had a good life elsewhere.

You can also look forward to experiencing what is essentially an eco-system all of its own in the Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary. There are many experiences to be had here, and you will definitely want to add this destination to your list of things to do should you end up going to Goa on a family holiday.

Make no mistake though; you may struggle to cover the whole area in a day. Since it covers around eight square kilometres it will soon become apparent that a two day visit will show you much more than one day ever could.
