About

Venerable 13,747-sq-km game reserve featuring lions, elephants & more, plus birding & guided walks.

Massive park where hundreds of elephants roam through red-orange dust — you'll see them around every corner. Allow at least two days, bring food and a full tank, and come in an off-road vehicle for the best experience.

    In my case I had no chance to see animals that close, but this experience is definitely something you must have. My tour guide Kelly was fantastic.

    This os one of the most expensive parks. Better be well prepared with food, snacks and a full tank. Off-road vehicle is a must.

    In 24h we saw 12 lions, hundreds of elephants, many zebras, giraffes and antelopes including lesser kudus and gerenuks which are rare. Unfortunately our experience wasn't the best because the main roads were incredibly bumpy with corrugations and the smaller roads only led to bushy places not very interesting. Also people were playing loud music at the public campsite until 2am and no ranger or caretaker were around to make them respect the park rules (no music aloud in the park!).

    Fantastic Safari Experience. We’ve seen hundreds of Elephants and dozen of giraffes. Also many other animals although we had no Cat Luck but that’s the game!

    The park is enormous. You can see elephants in every corner. The orange vibe is giving an amazing experience and I would recommend visiting this place. Two days are a minimum to find some animals
