Kleins Camp Habitats:
The camp itself is set on the rocky slopes of the Kuka Hills. Acacia and desert date trees dominate the open woodland savanna. Grassland savanna comprises tall grass with scattered trees, and an evergreen riparian forest fringes the Grumeti River. Commiphora, ficus, rhus and cordia are among the trees found on the rocky hillsides. Large quinine and Kirk’s acacia trees fringe the seasonal marshland. |

Mammals at Kleins Camp:
Individually recognisable leopard and cheetah are regularly located in their known territories. Tens of thousands of zebra and wildebeest pass through the Klein’s valley on their annual migration to and from Kenya's Masai Mara. Huge herds of buffalo and breeding herds of elephant offer exceptional game viewing. Bohor reedbuck and Defassa waterbuck favour marshland fringes. Chandler’s reedbuck and rock hyrax inhabit the rocky slopes above the camp. Silver galago (of the black melanistic form) favour taller riverine trees. |

Birds at Kleins Camp:
There are 345 species recorded at Klein’s. A pair of handsome Verreaux’s (black) eagles have an eyrie within sight of the camp. Various eagles, vultures and other birds of prey utilise mountain updrafts to soar past the camp. Pygmy falcon, pearl-spotted owlet, slate-coloured boubou and spot-flanked barbet are common in woodland and bush-clumps. Grey crowned crane, wattled lapwing and malachite kingfisher are among species attracted to marshlands. African green pigeon, Schalow’s turaco, Narina trogon and white-headed barbet are among fruit-eaters in riparian forest. |

Other Wildlife:
Large leopard tortoises inhabit rocky areas where African rock python also find refuge. Aquatic terrapins live in marshlands and streams. Brightly-coloured, flat-headed mwanza agama bask on rocks around the camp. A rich variety of butterflies, moths, dragonflies and other insects are to be seen. |
