Surprisingly colorful for a "desert". Good wildlife numbers and loads of birds. Deception Valley is a worthwhile place to see.

The CKGR is a difficult safari destination, requiring many hours on rough roads. Thus, it feels truly wild. You must stay on your toes here!

The location and wildlife are a different kind of beauty to other parts of the country. It feels isolated and yet when you are quiet and interested, the area comes a live with all sorts of life forms. Life seems to move slower in the desert.
