Other species include buffalo, hyena, jackal, wildebeest, zebra and various antelope amongst monkeys and baboon.
Niassa wildebeest, Boehm's zebra, and Johnston's Impala are all endemic to the reserve.
Miombo woodland, broken up by open savanna and wetland, supports high biodiversity in its plant life and abundant birdlife with over 400 species.
