The scenery is breathtaking. There are hills where you can go and get an incredible overview of the Game Reserve. Unfortunately 2 days before our visit a rhino has been killed by poachers. The carcass has been still there and lions were eating it.
It is great that there are still rhinos but they have to be protected from poachers.

It rained during the game drive, so I could not ascertain if there were any birds worth seeing. Despite the rain, we still managed to find lions, warthogs,vervet monkeys, chacma baboon, Cape Buffalo, white rhinos, giraffes, kudu and implala galore.

It is a beautiful reserve with a great camp at Hilltop. The wildlife viewing was amazing. Spending 30 minutes with a pack of Wild Dog with no other vehicles was truly amazing.

Loved every minute! We saw Rhino up close! Fantastic!!!!!
Everything was exactly what the dream expected. We never saw any of the Cat Family, but made up for it with Rhino sightings from the moment we entered the Park, and loved being so close to Elephant too. The scenery was breathtaking, amazing to travel from thick bush into open savanna.
We stayed in a tent in Mpila, very clean and comfortable rooms, and had the pleasure of watching the Hyena trying to "steal" our dinner each evening.
The Admin Staff were absolutely fantastic and helpful and everyone was so friendly
Would we go back again? You bet!

Beautiful reserve with excellent wildlife
I particularly enjoyed this reserve with it's hilly scenery and lush vegetation. We had the most incredible views of elephants at a water hole right by our vehicle. We stayed quite a while as a large group of up to 40 gradually gathered, drinking and playing in the muddy pool. We also saw more at other parts of the drive.
Other mammals included a large herd of buffalo, warthog, rhino and zebra all right by us. We only saw one reptile, a big monitor lizard. Birds we saw were yellow-billed kite, beautiful red bishops and a spectacular black-bellied bustard.
There are no giraffe, as the terrain is unsuitable, and we didn't see any big cats, I'm not sure if there are any.
It's 9 years now since this trip, but I haven't forgotten it!
