Proper management of the game sanctuaries is the hallmark of the country’s conservation measures and commitment to Eco-tourism.

Each circuit is made up of a number of national parks and game reserves and is home to wildlife that is unique to the particular habitat.

Each of these geographical regions is home to different types of wildlife that are unique to each area. Below are some of the park.
