The reserve’s habitats are diverse, ranging from brachystegia and miombo woodland through to grasslands, wetlands, and marshes. There’s diverse wildlife as a result, ranging from large mammals such as zebra, sable, kudu, giraffe through to primates and small carnivores as well as endemic species of butterflies and bats. Due to the lack of elephants and predators, it is possible to walk and cycle in the reserve.
The sunsets are quite spectacular – expect to spend many a night at Sunset deck with a drink in hand. Local communities are friendly, the market town of Salima is a bike taxi ride away and Senga Bay is an easy overnight or day trip.
