You will see many animals as you explore the open plains. Watch for zebras, lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, rhinos, impalas, kudus, cheetahs, elands, and more. The park is also home to over 500 bird species, including the African finfoot, golden pipit, and anhinga rufa. You may also choose to have a picnic lunch during the day before returning to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
