  • Lions & Predators: Home to strong lion prides, including descendants of the legendary man-eating lions of railway lore.Yatta Plateau: The world’s longest lava flow at 290 kilometers long.
  • Lugard Falls: A scenic series of white-water rapids along the Galana River.

  • Mudanda Rock: A massive rock outcrop with a natural water catchment below that attracts thirsty elephants
