Within this natural sanctuary lies a diverse range of ecosystems from lush acacia forests and grassy plains to freshwater swamps teeming with hippos. These varied habitats are home to more than 30,000 animals, including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, a wide variety of bird species, and the elusive black rhino.
