This reserve has a higher density and diversity of species than any other Miombo woodland area; there are more than 2,100 plants which have been recorded and more are thought to exist in the remote forests in the south.
Similarly, the reserve protects an impressive large mammal fauna as it contains globally significant populations of African elephant , black rhinoceros and wild hunting dogs . It also includes one of the world’s largest known populations of hippopotamus and buffalo.
There are also important populations of ungulates including sable antelope , Lichtenstein’s hartebeest , greater kudu , eland and Nyassa wildebeest .
In addition, there is also a large number of Nile crocodile and 350 species of birds, including the endemic Udzungwa forest partridge and the rufous-winged sunbird.
