What game are we likely to see?

We are not within a game reserve but animals that are frequently sighted and heard are:- Kudu, Impala, Duiker, Steenbok, Jackal and Monkeys. Across the Tati River, from our Viewing Deck, a number of these animals (and others) come to drink water at a Watering Hole which takes fresh water every day

What is the bird life like?

Excellent!  An ornithologist’s paradise!  A large variety of Botswana birds species can be sighted particularly during the dry season when they come to the water supply.

The migrant Woodland Kingfisher returns annually to nest on the beautiful banks of the Tati River.

Since the construction of our own dam and Ntimbale State dam upstream we have seen increase water fowl as they use the Tati River as a flight path.
