Today was a public holiday, so Simon and I decided to visit the park. It’s officially called General Hassan Usman Katsina park, but the gate you enter through is Gamji Gate (Kofar Gamji in Hausa) and some people call it Gamji park instead.

The map at the entrance makes it look like the park is huge but once you get inside you realise it’s actually quite small and run down. There’s a pool with some crocodiles, probably the only ones remaining in a town named for the crocodile river, and three scruffy ostriches.
