The district is renown for big buffalo, sable, it’s many leopards, and a very high success rate for it’s hunts for handsomely maned lions. Lukwati is a wonderful natural biotope with a high level of diversity: the large lake, Lake Rukwa, marshes and swamps, forests, rivers,open savannah, rocks, mountains, and water from natural springs.
