A lot of the park was covered by the expansion of the lake. Many of the animals described in the brochure that I hope to see no longer lived there.

Great park for birding and other wildlife. We did not see the tree lions though. Not sure if there are any there anymore.

The only highlight was the accomodation overlooking the lake, the wildlife was extremely poor and we drove there in the middle of the day when it was probably too hot to spot lions.

In March vegetation was lush, but there was a lot of flooding. Land cruising was in effected by flooding ! Wild animals were less stressed due to abundant grazing. Encounters were numerous, and sometimes surprising. On several occasions, were fortunate to witness rare colors of species.

Unfortunately, I think the park is dying due to the recent floods. It's sad, but it's instructive to see how cruel and merciless nature itself can be at times.

A very beautiful valley with special views and so many animals living close together.
