It is also a sanctuary for smaller predators such as the black-backed jackal, caracal, bat-eared fox, and civet and for bird enthusiasts, the skies and bushveld are filled with a dazzling variety of birdlife, from raptors and waterbirds to vibrant bush birds, making the lodge a paradise for birdwatching.
