Q:
We are starting a safari here in the middle of August. What are we likely to be able to see in the park? I had read that the lake shore road for access to see flamingos, hippos, etc. has been closed so you can't see much near the lake. Is this true?
A:
I really can't say When we went it was January. So whether or not the road is open now I do not know. The Lake is worth the visit. And you will see lots of animals. Have fun !
