WILDLIFE

A wide variety of wildlife abounds on Kurisa Moya. The birding is superb, with unusual species such as the Narina Trogon, the Buff-spotted Flufftail, the Black-fronted Bush Shrike, the Green Twinspot and the Knysna Turaco, to name but a few.

You are also likely to see samango monkeys and vervet monkeys and hear baboons barking on the mountain side. The forests play host to bushpig, warthog, bushbuck, civet, genet, caracal, porcupine, bushbabies and other wildlife, while the elusive leopard lurks in the mountains.
