You can spend days exploring the vast park area, established back in 1926 as a way to conserve endangered animal species and control hunting of big game. Accommodations within in the park include numerous lodges and campsites, while amenities consist of stores and restaurants. Choose from a plethora of guided safari tours, take a drive in your own vehicle, or, if you're feeling adventurous, book one of the wilderness trail hikes and follow in the footsteps of big game.
