Its 170 acres of woodland, grassland and lakes provides an environment for the ongoing conservation of over 20 types of deer, antelope and rare bird species to roam at their will.
Access to the reserve is via guided tour only and must be pre-booked online via the website.
Watatunga also offers self catering accommodation with stunning views of the animals and the option to organise private tours for small groups in electric buggies or large groups in a safari trailer.
The electric buggies used for the tours reduce carbon footprint, and their quiet noise lets guests get as up close to nature as possible.
Conservation is a focus at the attraction and the reserve recently received conservationists working to help save the critically endangered Mountain Bongo from extinction.
Found in the mountain forests in Kenya, there are believed to be just 100 Mountain Bongo left in the wild, and Watatunga’s work will help maintain the widest possible genetic diversity.
The Reserve’s Experiences and Education offering includes a photography course geared towards those just taking it up and keen to learn and seasoned pros keen on wildlife photography.
For those looking for a conservation-based staycation, Watatunga offers Stable Cottage, in walled garden of the Watlington Estate; the Gate Lodge that looks over one of the breeding paddocks or Major’s Lodge, which is single-story wooden safari lodge.
