The reserve is well known for its black-manned lions as well as its abundant resident wildlife. It’s one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame that they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey.
For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded. Among these, 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 species of bustard (including the kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.

It will be a long day of driving but the game drives going in and out of the parks can be surprisingly incredible.
However, we always recommend flying from one park to the other so that you can have more time to go on safari. Alternatively, you can add an extra day to visit Lake Victoria, that's halfway between the two parks.
