You may wish to watch in action the crocodile, "the undisputed king of river predators", stalk its prey. Legend beholds that a single meal will keep the crocodile for several months, perhaps even half a year. This is the reason for the croc’s patience. It will wait for its prey to come and drink water at the river's bank. With its powerful tail and incredible strength the croc will beat the animal into the water and with its bite pull the prey under water to drown it. Keeping well away from croc infested water bodies is good advice. Most Zambian rivers and lakes including swamps and wetlands support fish life. Take the southern tip of Africa’s oldest and deepest Lake Tanganyika. More than three hundred fish species have been logged there. This is the site for the annual fishing competion. Another place great for tiger fishing is Lake Kariba and the Zambezi River. Zambia is named after the Zambezi, a river reserve for giant carp fish, tiger, vudu, bream, etc.
Zambia’s wildlife supports good birding. She is a birders' paradise too! Ornithologically speaking, a whopping 749 bird species have been recorded so far! The common bird sightings include doves, pigeons, parrots, cuckoos, owls, nightjars, kingfishers, hornbills and the broad-billed roller, barbets, honey guides, woodpeckers, swallows, the fork-tailed drongo and flycatchers, red-necked falcon, crested guinea fowl, African broadbill, black-breasted snake eagle, and the lesser spotted eagle. African travel is not complete until when you see the wildlife in it’s natural habitat. The rare shoebill stork is found near the Bangweulu Floodplain and the nearby Kasanka National Park
