It has deep valleys, steep rugged hills, brown and green open glades and cascading terrain are of such tranquility as if never touched by man. The game ranges from lions, leopards and cheetahs to primate and squirrels. Giraffes grace the woodlands on the rising slopes, and there is an abundance of gazelles and antelopes, including the lesser kudu and gerenuk. Swarms of giant butterflies drifting on the gentle afternoon breeze and red velvet beetles crawling on the ground in the early morning sun, provide a startling spectacle for nature lovers. If we are lucky we may encounter some elephants that regularly move through the area, or one of the several packs of wild dogs for which the area has become famous.
Local crafts are also available at reasonable prices.
