Lions, spotted hyenas, leopards, and wild dogs are the main predators. Though the park is popularly known as ‘Valley of the Leopards’, lions are more widely and easily seen. There are 3 species of herbivores which are endemic to the park; there are Crawshay’s zebra (subspecies of the more common plains zebra), Thornicroft’s giraffe (distinguished by its different colouration which is more striking than other species found in the rest of Southern Africa) and Cookson’s wildebeest (slightly smaller than blue wildebeest with slightly reddish bands).

The six chalets open to fantastic views of the river and have en-suite bathrooms, the camp has a swimming pool and restaurant which are set back from the river. Activities include game drives, walking safaris, seasonal boating and village tours. All meals and local drinks are included in the nightly price.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
