In the grass and acacia forest, you can spot almost every animal species of the East African savannah together with the Big Five animals (rhino, elephant, buffalo, lion and leopard). Other animals include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo and the giant African elephant. There are dense populations of predators, which include lion, hyena, jackal, cheetah and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.
