The Bassi Wildlife Sanctuary cover 15,290 hectares and is apparently home to panthers, wild boar and antelope which is odd as they have a cheetah painted on their sign! Despite no wildlife deigning to make themselves visible during our visit, (it was a very hot day) the drive round the park was like an off-roading adventure in its own right. Just as we were about to head back we came across one of the two dams in the park, the Bassi and Orai dams, and the landscape turned from dry and dusty to lush and green.
