it’s possible to see the big five during a morning’s game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so
tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one’s vehicle and several even climb onto the
roof to get better view of prospective prey.

It will be a long day of driving but the game drives in and out of the parks can be surprisingly
incredible. However, we always recommend to fly from one park to the other so that you can

half way between the two parks. Dinner and overnight at campsite or lodge.

inhabited by more than 2 million large animals including more than a million wildebeest,
hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson’s gazelles. Large predators including
lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey which migrate
throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat eared foxes, mongoose, honey
