<\/a><\/p>\nIndeed, the proximity of urban and natural environments has caused conflicts between the animals and local people and threatens animals’ migration routes. The park covers an area of 117.21 square kilometres (28,963 acres) and is small in comparison to most of Africa’s national parks.The park’s altitude ranges between 1,533 metres (5,030ft) and 1,760 metres (5,774ft), has a dry climate and a diverse range of habitats and species. Entrance fee is $40.<\/p>\n
The park’s predominant environment is open grass plain with scattered Acacia bushes. The western uplands of the park have highland dry forest and the lower slopes of these areas are grassland. There is a riverine forest along the permanent river in the south of the park. You will also find areas of broken bush and deep rocky valleys and gorges. The park has a high diversity of bird species,with up to 500 permanent and migratory species in the park. Dams have created a man-made habitat for birds and aquatic species.<\/p>\n
