This is a private wildlife and forest conservation sanctuary established by the Bamburi Cement Company with a purpose to reclaim acres of excavated quarries during the many years of extracting raw material for cement manufacturing. It is one of the world's best examples of how man's destruction on land can be reclaimed in nature's own way. Today both exotic and local animals and trees inhabit this oasis which was once a barren treeless desert of limestone dust. Visitors can see birds, porcupines, giant tortoises, orphaned animals like buffalo, hippo, and eland. Fish and crocodile commercially farms are also run here.
