What to expect

Game drives here offer a unique chance to spot lions resting in trees—a behavior seen in only a few places in Africa. You’ll also see elephants, topis, buffaloes, and many bird species. The area is sparsely visited, giving it a wild, unspoiled feel. Accommodations are limited but intimate, with options for tented camps and lodges.
