are spent in this park searching for the wide variety of animals
and birds in the reserve, while absorbing the sounds and beauty
of this region. Game drives as the sun rises, and in the late afternoon
as the sun sets, are the norm, returning to camp for lunch and a
siesta, usually we move campsites to explore a different area of
