The reserve is an underground water forest which is well known for its important catchment values as it host not only a numbers of natural spring but also some valuable tree species and animal species especially two species of monkeys namely black and white colubus monkeys and blue monkeys.
Another species which can be observed while walking in the forest includes various species
of butterfly dik dik (rarely in some parts of the forest) squirrels as well as some forested bird species.
Also the forest is very famous and well known to the locals who inhabited the surroundings for many years and who has been using the forest not only for their daily survive and firewood collections but also for the rituals purposes. This is evidenced and can be observed by visiting one of the huge and oldest tree of East African teak (Milicia excelsa) or Mvule mkuu as it’s called by locals
From the edge of the forest in the southern part the hike can be extended to the rice farms where the local farmers conduct irrigation farming system to more than 3000 ha of rice plots.
The cultivated plots make the forest and overall plains not only more beautiful and very attractive greenish but also one of the important feeding ground to more than 20 migratory bird species
