Environment
The park consists of a low-lying open savanna forest in its north, vegetated with Bambusa, Isoberlinia and Terminalia. It has more elevated, denser forest in its south.[2]
The park has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports significant populations of Heuglin's spurfowl, red-throated bee-eaters, black-breasted barbets, fox kestrels, yellow-billed shrikes, piapiacs, green-backed eremomelas, purple starlings, chestnut-crowned sparrow-weavers, red-winged pytilias, black-rumped waxbills and brown-rumped buntings. There are also various mammals including, just outside the IBA to the north-west, an isolated population of greater kudu.[3]
