Time is spent tracking some of the many species found here including four out of the big five with the exception of the elephant. Species commonly seen include giraffe, eland, thompson’s and grant’s gazelles, impala, waterbuck, baboons, warthog and rock hyrax. Zebra and wildebeest are common but are mainly seen in larger numbers during the migration period in august and september. Lion, leopard and cheetah are resident here but are more challenging to track due to the cat family’s elusive nature. Hyena, jackal, mongoose and aardvark may also be seen. The birdlife here includes ostrich, eagles, vultures and secretary birds.
