Covering 164,000 hectares, the park boasts what it calls the Big Seven - elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo, leopard, southern right whale and great white shark. Furthermore, it has the densest African elephant populations on earth.

The temperature in the area can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in summer (November through to February), while winter days are mild but cold at night with frost occurring at times.
