Most of the traditional wildlife one would expect in Africa is present in Zambia. In South Luangwa you will find huge hippopotamus and crocodile populations, as well as Cape Buffalo.
Away from the rivers, the grasslands support a variety of grazers: zebras, impalas, pukus, waterbucks, bushbucks, duikers and klipspringers.
Where there are grazers, there are predators. Lions, leopards, hyenas and cheetahs are common.
The really exciting ones are all there too. Elephants, giraffes and rhinos are common. They are protected from most animal predators by their size, and human predators by the establishment of national parks.
