A small population of forest elephants survives in the park's interior, mostly in the wetter gallery forests along the Mô and Anié rivers. They are not the elephants of the East African savannas — they are shy, secretive, and rarely seen — but their tracks, dung, and broken vegetation are common enough that a few days of walking with a ranger usually turns up clear evidence.
For the lucky visitor who actually meets one, the encounter is a quiet, near-silent affair: a glimpse of a dark shape moving through the trees rather than the panoramic herds of southern Africa. Park staff have a reasonable sense of recent movements and can suggest where to walk; even without a sighting, the search itself is the point.
