According to the park officials, the number of visitors during Easter holiday has been quite high compared to previous celebrations of the same time. Assistant Warden II and Tourism Warden Gladys Gaturia said the visitor numbers went up because now the visitor experiences have been improved and new prices attract more people here.
Besides animals, visitors also got chance to see the latest attractions of animal orphanage, among which are two four-year-old female lions that is Elema 1 and Elema 2. These lions caused both young and old a lot of excitement and admiration.

These bus services will also be running during Easter period including Easter Monday.
