The
region is adjacent to permanent water and is characteristic
of the delta seasonal floodplains. Vast ancient
riverine forests of ebony, knobthorn and leadwood
are characteristic of the river margins with extensive
open grasslands, palm forests and acacia woodland
in the drier areas.
Exclusive
access is possible to some 70 sq. kilometres comprising
6 broad ecotypes and associated bird, plant and
animal species.
As
this is a wilderness area, game viewing is subject
to seasonal movement of elephant, hippo, crocodile,
buffalo, lion, cheetah, leopard, wild dog, and general
game. (no rhino)
Peak
game viewing is July - October, with flood plains
inundated from June - September/October. |
