Attractions

The Park has the second largest population of black rhinos in Africa and is home to the near extinct mountain Bongo. The only place where so much noise can bring relaxation is the raging Thompsons, Karuru fall, Magura falls and Chania waterfalls, where clear streams flow into rivers with ease, in juxtaposition with the Lesatima and Kinangop peaks overlooking the vegetation below.

The view of the moorland stretch that stops at the foot of the elephant hills and the table Mountains attracts the inquisitive minds of geologists and laymen alike.
