is peppered with oodles of flashy resorts, but if
ifyou look a little further you'll also encounter superb nature sanctuaries like Bijilo Forest
Park, where you can observe monkeys, monitor lizards and over 100 bird species; and the
Kachikally Crocodile Pool, where you can discover why crocodiles are considered sacred.
Pick up a new painting to grace your wall at home and discuss the local modern-art scene
with painters and sculptors at the African Living Art Centre.
