What wildlife can we realistically expect to encounter when staying at Parlezo and visiting Loh Buaya National Park?

Loh Buaya National Park is, of course, synonymous with the Komodo dragon, and we highly recommend a guided trek to observe these magnificent reptiles in their natural habitat. Beyond the dragons, keep an eye out for wild buffalo, deer, and a variety of birdlife around the guesthouse grounds.
