Wood Buffalo National Park suggestions??

I may have a chance to drive through Wood Buffalo National Park in late July or early August.   It’s an enormous park, and while it has amazing potential, a lot of that seems to a little difficult to access.  A recent BBC documentary filmed wolf hunting buffalo there, but the behind the scenes episode, and the web site showed that it required a fixed wing spotter plane, helicopter, multiple teams and even so, lots of luck (BBC One – Frozen Planet II – Getting eye level with the wolves hunting bison).  But one can drive from Hay River to Fort Smith through the park, and I think there are some roads inside the park.  So I am wondering if driving the roads is likely to produce any sightings.   Recommendations for other parks or mammal watching sites in NWT or Alberta also welcome.
