As a protected environment, it is home to a wide variety of wildlife, from magnificent butterflies, such as the Citrus Swallowtail, to many beautiful species of antelope and bird life. The ocean provides another life system for exploration by nature-lovers, and the lush forests surrounding Zimbali are a birdwatcher's paradise, with sightings of the rare Narina Trogon a distinct possibility.
