Die donkerder maande is elke park se beste seisoen, wanneer die bos yler is of water skaars is en diere makliker gesien word. ’n Waarneming is nooit gewaarborg nie.

Beste tye van die dag

Vroegoggend en laatmiddag. Die African Elephant is bedags uit, en die maklikste om te sien voor die hitte.
Middaghitte. Rus dikwels in die skaduwee of naby water.

Hoe om te kyk

Ry self

Jou eie voertuig en pas, op die park se paaie.

Vrae wat reisigers vra
