Drove
down
from
Khartoum
to
the
park
last
week
with
a
friend.
Hired
a
land
cruiser
with
a
good
driver.
Took
us
7
hours
to
reach
Dinder
town
where
we
found
the
park
HQ.
The
man
with
the
key
was
gone
so
we
could
not
pay
park
fees
that
day
but
had
to
come
back
the
next
morning.
It
was
$190/person
to
enter
the
park
for
as
many
days
as
we
liked.
The
drive
to
the
park
was
another
5
hours
on
a
very
bad
road
through
small
villages
and
agricultural
land.
Once
inside
the
park
it
was
largely
forested
and
bushy
with
large
pools
of
water
in
open
areas.
Animal
life
was
not
obviously
abundant
but
plentiful.
We
saw
various
antelopes,
monkey,
loads
of
birds
species,
warthog,
ostrich,
and
buffalo.
Lion
prints
were
evident
but
we
did
not
see
one.
The
park
lodge
is
basic
but
pleasant
with
Zain
signal
and
electricity.
We
were
given
one
wildlife
ranger
to
accompany
us
named
Bilal
and
he
was
extraordinary
even
during
Ramadan
fasting
as
we
drove
and
walked
through
the
park
around
the
camp
called
Galegu.
I
highly
recommend
a
visit
to
this
park
very
much
off
the
beaten
track
and
wish
them
well
protecting
it
from
the
surrounding
pressures
being
applied.
