Keep an eye out for baboons, cats, duikers, guinea fowls, kobs, green monkeys, monitor lizards, and zebras, along with many beautiful butterflies.

    A trip to this plant will teach you how glasses are transformed into lovely beads that adorn our bodies. Watch as the glasses are crushed into a fine powder and placed into a clay mold. Examine how it is cooked by burning crushed palm kernels at an incredibly high temperature to achieve the required result. You’ll be surprised at how easy traditional technology is employed to generate a temperature of around 600°C from palm kernels.
