The land includes about 300 acres of forest. It will be closed off as a game reserve and conservation area, and the money it earns from visitors will support conservation.

In October 2024 the Foundation applied to the Uganda Wildlife Authority for a wildlife use right for tourism and recreation, for a holding ground of about 127 acres. Animals proposed include zebra, eland, waterbuck, bushbuck, Uganda kob, giraffe, Jackson's hartebeest, impala, warthog, crested crane and peacocks.

The Authority has asked for detailed care plans for each species and a design of the facility. The Foundation is preparing both.
