I recommend staying in your tent at night. Try not to drink beverages that will make you need to use the bathrooms because once you leave your tent you might run into something along the way to the head. At night, hippos walked around the campground eating those sausage pods and lions sometimes pass near. Baboons and elephants hang about the campground during the day. Watch your food with those baboons. They can be really aggressive and will take your food when your back is turned. The elephants are used to people but be aware as they are still enormous creatures. Absolutely no citrus is allowed in the park as the elephants are crazy about them.
Watch out for those mosquitoes, this is a malarial area. As the sun sets, cover up, and spray yourself generously. You may want to consider a prophylactic as well.
