Game viewing provides interesting surprises that has both guests and guides alike enthralled by the drama and beauty that unfolds each day in the Kafue National Park. Frequent sightings of African Finfoot, half-collared Kingfisher and Schallow's Lourie have birders reaching for their binoculars, while a few lucky ones are rewarded with the sighting of Pel's Fishing Owl, Bohm's Bee-eater and Lady Ross' Tourraco.

A secluded island, surrounded by fast-flowing rapids (as well as a number of resident Hippo), can be used as an overnight camp, provides an ideal setting to end a day's paddle. Busanga Plains confirmed its reputation as the place for Lion sightings. Lion, Cheetah and several sightings become a regular occurrence. The dominant Lion pride normally consists of an adult male, 5 Lionesses and 6 cubs born from 2 of the Lionesses.

One of the guests' favourite activities is the sundowner or tea-stop at the Hippo pool, where they are amused by the frolicking, fighting and fooling of the Hippo while flocks of hundreds of openbilled Storks, Yellowbilled Storks, Whitefaced Ducks and myriads of Waders and waterbirds keep everybody's attention riveted.

You may see a floating dead Hippo, which had been killed in a fight, attracting the attention of Crocodile, Lion and Vultures. At one stage, the Crocodiles have it all to themselves and one even manages to snap up an unfortunate Vulture that falls into the water. But the Lion are not to be balked of their prey, swim out to the carcass and drag it to shore, beating off Crocodile to perform this brave task.
