Not the biggest NP in the world. One could spend a full day there, though. Depends on ones level of interest. A late start is OK, but when it comes to game viewing the early bird often catches the worm.
It's been years since I last visited, but I used to hit the main gate at 6 a.m. Only took me 20 minutes to get there from the Norfolk Hotel, no 24/7 traffic jams in those days. Usually had the place to myself for at least the first hour, or much longer if I just kept heading roughly east.
