The nearby plains are the classical image of savannah Africa, dotted with acacia trees and fringed by the inspiring Siria escarpment. It is hardly surprising that Little Governors’ was the setting for the film ‘Out of Africa’.

Not only are grazing animals particularly common in this area but big cat sightings are also particularly prevalent – the BBC’’s ‘Big Cat Diary’ is filmed here.
