This smaller park is nice for a day-trip. Good for elephants, giraffes, zebras, impalas, hippos, water buffalo, warthogs, blue monkeys, velvet monkeys, baboons, and flamingos. You may see an occassional lion.

Ok if you only like to see baboons. Not worth spending more than 90 mins there. There are better places
