From the moment we entered the park, we were amazed by the fresh, clean atmosphere and the raw beauty of the landscapes.

Summary: Great experience. Didn't make it all the way to the Indian Ocean coast but the variety of landscapes is interesting and very beautiful. Try to get there earlier rather than later, as there are more animals.
