Typically visitors can see lions and elephants on safari drives. Closer to their personal quarters they are likely to witness vervet monkeys only slightly bigger than squirrels, and nyala, grazers who resemble deer.
At night those blood-curdling screams you may hear coming from your terrace are likely to come from baboons.
Since the area is alive with wildlife, guests are told to dial the main lodge for a chaperone after dark.
