Donations

After opening the park, Namibian government donated a total number of 279 wildlife species to the Bauchi State Government comprising 10 Giraffes, 53 Burchell’s Zebras, 14 Elands, 23 blue Wildebeests, 21 red Hartebeests, 24 Oryxs, 26 Kudus, 52 Springboks and 56 common Impalas. [4] The animals were gotten from different game reserves in Namibia. They made sure that Sumu was safe for them; it is a fenced and game friendly forest reserve so it’s very suitable for the animals. Game guards and rangers watch over the animals. [5]
