RESEARCH
With between 500-700ml of rainfall every year and a vastly varied topography, Lolldaiga provides a home for a huge number of wildlife and bird species. Frequently spotted animals include elephant, buffalo, lion, hyena, jackal, zebra (including the endangered Grevy's), many different plains game, vervet monkeys and baboons. Leopard, cheetah and wild dog are harder to find, but definitely around. Lucky guests will catch patas monkeys out on the plains, or magnificent colobus leaping through the cedars higher up.
Thanks to the Lolldaiga Research Programme, a close eye is kept on Lolldaiga's biodiversity, and more detailed lists of the species on the ranch can be found HERE.
