That's because the park is largely free of predators, leaving the zebras, giraffes, impalas, buffaloes and rock hyraxes (and human visitors) to roam without fear. The red-rock cliffs of Hell's Gate Gorge are stunning with some weird-and-wonderful rock formations, and the narrow Lower Gorge is a wonderful place to explore some of the animals you may encounter while cycling in the park are giraffes, zebras, buffalos and antelopes all this is seen while on your visit to this unique park.
