There is a wide variety of African wildlife that includes bird and reptile species, some of which are rare and vulnerable to the threat of extinction.
Mokolodi Nature Reserve is also the centre of the breeding of the white rhinoceros herd. The programme seeks to replenish the rhino population in Botswana.
