An easily accessible Afro-temperate Mist-belt forest with a picnic site and short trails. This is an old birders haunt and the birding is good. Listen out for the resident Scaly-throated Honeyguide in the picnic site. This is the best place to find White-starred Robin and Yellow-streaked Greenbul. A short (20min) circular walk starts from the picnic site (Follow footprints which start from the road 10m before the boom gate at the picnic site, opposite the pine compartment).
