The park’s proximity means the honking horns and busy streets linger faintly, but the vast plains and forested patches quickly reclaim your focus. Lions lounge in the shade, rhinos graze warily, and elegant giraffes stride purposefully across the terrain, daring you to track their movement through the tall grasses.
