The Gol Kopjes boast the highest concentration of cheetahs in Africa. The world famous Gol Kopjes complex, called the world's largest Japanese rock garden, offers the finest game viewing in Africa during the green season. Hundreds of game loops bisect the constellation of kopjes and photographic opportunities abound (perhaps the best in the park). With a little patience, there is a good chance to witness the world's fastest land animal sprinting across the plains in pursuit of the fleet footed Thomson's Gazelle.
