It is not just the game that attracts visitors, the rolling scenery is often covered in wildflowers and in the rainy season, there are over 200 types of orchid in flower. Commonly spotted wildlife include duiker, eland, roan, leopard, zebra, lion, elephant, buffalo as well as over 400 bird species.
Best time to visit Nyika National Park is between May and October, when temperatures are favourable and rainfall is little. During the wet season it’s very hot, not the best time to venture here.
The montane vegetation attracts large numbers of antelope from the diminutive Common duiker to eland and roan. Zebra are common. The park is said to have one of the highest densities of leopards in Central Africa but this has not been supported by any scientific survey in the past 20 years and all mammals suffer changes in populations which can be rapid. There are a number of species of smaller mammals such as warthogs and bushpigs, the smaller cats and porcupine. Lions and elephants have recently been seen on the high plateau.
Botswana has one of the highest desities of African cats. The endangered Wild dogs can be spotted in several areas aswell.
