Impressive nyala antelope feed alongside impala and warthog. Nocturnal aardvark, bushpig and greater bushbaby may be encountered on night game-drives. Mountain reedbuck resides on rocky slopes, while common reedbuck favours palmveld and wetlands. The bird life is prolific and an impressive 378 species have recorded in the area.
