A large sub-tropical garden offers good birding and ample opportunity for relaxation. Birding, hiking and horse trails leading from the guest house traverse scenic landscapes and a diversity of habitats.

This reserve, with its semi-deciduous scrub-forest, is habitat to some of the region’s specials like African Broadbill, Green Twinspot, Yellow-spotted Nicator, Crested Guineafowl, Narina Trogon, Gorgeous Bush Shrike and breeding African Crowned Eagle.
