The national park has areas including bungalows and some luxury accommodations and also where visitors can pitch up tents. They provide various ideas to please visitor.

My Opinion
Now South Africa is picked up on our daily topic because of the World Cup. So recently our image of South Africa is where the world cup is held. Through this video, beautiful and rich nature is showed. Especially the sight of safari with animals in sunset is amazing. National park is a good idea to increase the tourism industries and protect the wild animals and nature from the land development. However there is a little anxiety of the development as tourism industries’ grows, I think.
