The incredible 365 bird species found in the reserve will offer the astute student a chance to learn names of birds, including the helmeted and vulturine guinea fowls. The Waterbuck, a square-root cousin of the Impalas is a hairy tasteless beast, if you ask the Lion. If caught or subdued, it secretes a stinking bitter liquid that makes it impossible for any carnivore that kills it to eat its meat, except the greedy hyena. The swift cheetah chasing after wild game, the blue Somali ostrich and the gerenuk present a fascinating resemblance of the jungle truth; the lower you are in the food chain the more miserable you become.

Millions of liters of gushing waters in the name of buffalo springs in the reserve catch the eye of the unwary while the dashing landscapes and plains are the mementos and souvenirs that visitors would only relish taking home. When night falls, game viewing takes preference, which is why you should fight for the front seat of the car, if you don’t want to miss the action. Bird Watching and nature walks have never been better.

Swimming in the outdoor pools and springs while setting camp can at least be a substitute to computer games and television. Game drives and nature walks will guarantee the tranquility of your dreams.
