Wildlife Observation Treehouse

Highlight • Structure

Wooden wildlife observatory in excellent condition. Useful for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers for spotting. It's quite hidden, but camouflage clothing is recommended to reduce the chance of being spotted by the animals. It's not covered, so raincoats are recommended in case of bad weather.
