    If you’re after the quiet moments, a mangrove boat ride in the early morning often gives you the chance to see the river dolphins and the tiny spotted deer that wander into the water. For a more dramatic wildlife scene, the safari usually brings you closer to the larger mammals. During the winter months, the lake area lights up with migratory waterfowl, so adding a bird watching walk after the safari can round out the experience. If you’re staying in Bhubaneswar, Hotel O Saket Homes is a convenient base for both activities.
