It has abundant flora and fauna to delight the visitor, and an amazing variety of different kinds of birds.

Animals which roam the park include lions, elephants, giraffes, chimpanzees, buffalo.

The Nile below the falls has crocodile, elephants and hippos, which can often been seen from a river boat cruise or even from the windows of the luxury safari lodge where you would be staying.
