A visit often involves observing the wildlife, particularly hippos and various bird species, and experiencing the local culture. Accessibility can be challenging due to limited infrastructure, and a guided visit is highly recommended for safety and to enhance the experience with local knowledge. Solo travel might not be advisable due to safety concerns and the difficulty of navigating the area.
