Kusini is a unique combination of habitats with grasslands fading into woodlands. Many different species are able to coexist in this area due to the overlapping of habitats. Besides the migratory animals, this area boasts an abundance of resident animals including elephant, giraffe, buffalo and two lion prides. However, the crown jewel here is a secret spot nicknamed 'Kusini Crater', a circular grassy plain completed encircled by dense acacia trees, which is known for large wildlife concentrations including cheetah.
