There are the marshes and a soda lake, acacia woodland and short grass plains. Annually the migration of wildebeest and zebra find their way here between December and May. While resident, they travel over the vast area always on the search of the sweet new grass. The smell of rain even miles away will cause the herds to move in that direction. The resident wildlife includes giraffe, cheetah, lion, leopard, elephant, various species of antelope and exciting smaller cats such as the caracal. Striped hyena is seen regularly.
