The original Elephant section of the park was created in 1931. At this time, there were only 11 elephants remaining in the area. Today however, there are over 350 elephants, 280 cape buffalo, black rhino, a variety of antelope species along with the unique flightless dung beetle which is found almost exclusively in the park. Thanks to the conservation efforts, the grey leviathans of the bush now roam in peace and are safe from their past persecution.
