Numerous varieties of smaller game sorts are also found - warthog, duiker, steenbok, klipspringer, scrub hare, banded mongoose, slender mongoose, porcupine, springhare, ground squirrel etc. as well as a wealth of different bird varieties ( over 350 species in the Waterberg ).

There are no large predators in the reserve, making it safe to walk or cycle. Leopard, lynx, genets and black-backed jackal occur naturally in the area but are very shy and rarely seen.
