Banhine boasts an impressive population of ostrich and visitors can expect sightings of duiker, steenbok, reedbuck, oribi, kudu and impala. Elephant, buffalo and hippo seasonally move into the area and cheetah and lion are known to habit the area which is a sign of increasing wildlife populations.
Plans remain to boost these existing wildlife populations and reintroduce zebra, wildebeest, giraffe and other historical species such as roan and eland to the landscape in coming years.
Although the birdlife of Mozambique in general poorly known, 306 species have been recorded in Banhine National Park, including a number of rare and endangered species such as the wattled crane.
The Park is however a place of interest for birders especially around the central wetland pan systems and also boasts attractive scenery from these pan system to numerous baobab stands separated by surrounding lower lying large open grassland expanses.
