The main area overlooks the Southern Busanga Plains. This area is known as the 'southern tree line', a mix of woodland and open plains, a good habitat for all kinds of wildlife sightings. Cheetah migrates seasonally to the southern plains as the grasses dry out and can be spotted more often when the Wildebeest begins giving birth.

Game drives are the activity of choice at Ntemwa, both morning and afternoon (and even into the night!), this is because in the northern Kafue the distances are large and to get the most out of the areas an outstanding diverse range of habitats one must travel to see them.

Predators are thriving, with a healthy population of lions spread across the Kafue. Typical to the woodland habitat leopards stalk the shadows. Cheetah is often seen.  Serval is seen hunting especially on the plains. Amongst many other smaller mammals previous safaris have found Wildcat Aardvark and Pangolin.

There are 14 Antelope species in the Kafue and seeing nearly all in a typical safari is not uncommon.  Roan, Sable, Red Lechwe herds numbering in thousands and shy  Oribi are just a few to look forward to seeing. 

Wild dogs are here, and although they remain hard to spot, sightings increase as the dry season passes. Birds are a big part of any safari, and the Kafue has an impressive list that your guides will identify. Spectacular flocks of Open Billed Stork's swirl over the plains, which are home to some rare and endemic species including Wattled Cranes and delightful Rosy Throated Longclaws.
