In addition to elephant and buffalo, you can also expect to find lion, leopard and other predators. These animals are found in the area but are heard more than seen.  

Antelope species include kudu, waterbuck, impala, zebra and eland. 
Keep a look out for baboons which are a common sighting,  particularly near the main camps.

Birdlife is always spectacular and varied with over 300 recorded species in the Mana area.

Best time of year for birds and particularly the migratory species, is in the summer months from November to April.
Insects in the Zambezi Valley are fascinating, even for avid bug-haters.   During the wet season the population explodes.
