The park is known for its special sightings of aardwolf, bat-eared fox and caracal. Over 200 bird species occur including black and martial eagles, ostrich, secretary bird, blue crane, Ludwigs bustard, red-billed oxpecker and eastern long-billed lark.

The park has a rich variety of bird species and in spring, the plains are covered with flowers. The summers are warm and the swimming pool provides a welcome oasis for guests to laze in. Winter nights are cold - just right for evenings spent in front of the blazing log fires in the cottages.

Regular snowfall on high-lying areas in the colder months turns the park into a winter wonderland.
