At night the chilling roar of lions in the distance is heard, with the shrieking of jackals fusing with the haunting calls of night-owls and the hollowing call of the hyaena.

Take a bush walk to explore the bush in finer detail, pausing to see the various species of bird that haunt the trees such as the Red-billed Buffalo Weaver, Burchell's Starling and Mourning Dove.
