Amos, I've gone to that park a number of times and enjoyed it greatly. What I especially like is that the meadows are large enough that the animals act naturally. I remember watching a Sable chasing around fending off another male from his harem while trying to herd a female to his own domain.

I especially like that animals that are no threat to each other and are compatible in their habits share the same compounds, so you'll see the dik diks, giraffes, sables, and other herbivores in plain view of each other. Kind of like a mini Serengeti.

I also like that visitors flank the rim of the wilderness world so that the animals can - and do - ignore our presence.

I was down there - in the early 90's - when a wildfire raged through part of the park. From my family's back yard we could see smoke and the occasional leaping flames. I don't think there were any casualties.
