Description

Bunga Views is a protected part of the Bunga Botanical Reserve. The large expanse of gently sloping sub-montane grassland between Castle Beacon and the Bunga Forest, ends in an area of Brachystegia woodland on a sheer, South-East facing cliff, overlooking forest and high-rainfall miombo woodland below. The area, receiving regular mists, is rich in epiphytic and lithophytic plants and has thick grass cover.
