The park can be visited through out the year and covers an area of 776 square kms. With many different ecosystems within it's boundaries it is primarily endowed with thick rainforest cover where forest Elephant's roam. These animals are smaller in size than their savannah counterparts and very elusive. Other species present include Buffalo, Giant Forest Hog, and several species of secretive antelope. There are over 335 species of birds where the extremely rare Green Breasted Pitta would be regarded the highlight of any visit. Butterflies are very numerous in the forest with excellent knowledgeable guides to point them out to you.
The forest has a network of trails for chimpanzee trekking, bird watching and nature walks. Bird watching activities are also conducted at the Bigodi wetland sanctuary on the border of the forest.
