These magnificent creatures can be seen gracefully moving across the expansive savannah plains, foraging for food or drinking from the river. The sheer size and beauty of these elephants are awe-inspiring, making them one of the park’s most iconic and celebrated residents.

The park is rich in antelope species, including impalas, kudu, and waterbucks, all of which contribute to the park’s dynamic ecosystem.
