With the arrival of the annual floods, the plains surrounding Vumbura become flooded and attract an abundance of wildlife, offering incredible sightings of elephant, giraffe, buffalo, wildebeest and a number of antelope species. The flooded grasslands form a number of waterways which are inhabited by a number of hippo and crocodiles. Other predator sightings include lion, leopard, cheetah, wildcats, and the rare African wild dog.
