As you stand at the park gate and look south, it stretches as far as the eye can see. Known as the ‘Elephant Playground,’ this phenomenal park contains vast herds of these mighty mammals. It is also home to buffalo, lion, wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle.  
• This national park can rival the Serengeti for sheer animal densities. What might you see today? A solitary male lion stretched out beneath a tree, perhaps a trio of male cheetahs enjoying some lazy bonding time in the sun. Maybe some graceful Grant’s gazelle or zebra bounding.

  fed by waters seeping from the nearby escarpment. Monkeys are abundant, but look out. Hold your nose when you reach the hippo pool because these big lumps smell!
