OP needs to ask themselves - you traveled that far, are likely not coming back to that part of the world. Would you rather stay 2 nights and risk not seeing what you're there to see, or stay 4-5 nights and see TOO MANY wild animals?
Agreed!

On our 2nd day we saw Lions sunning on a rock about 100 yards away

On our 4th day we saw lions in some shade about 100 feet away

On our 5th day we saw lions eating what looked like the remains of a Wildebeest, about 150 feet away from us

On our 6th day we saw 3 lion cubs playing in the grass about 100 feet away

On our 8th day, 3 male lions with red faces walked across the road right in front of our jeep after being chased away from a kill by the Lioness in charge

We never got tired of lions or thought we had "seen everything". We saw a couple Klipspringers (adorable really small antelopes) and thought they were amazing, and then we saw Dik-Diks!

We saw Ostriches many of our days, then we saw a male Ostrich doing a dance near two females and one of them danced back and then they started doing things we had only seen on the Discovery Channel.


The longer you stay the more you see and the more you want to see.
