You can find 44 different species of snakes in Kafue National Park and 34 in South Luangwa National Park. The Puff adder ( Bitis arietans) is responsible for more cases of snakebites than any other snake because when approached it will puff itself up and issue a warning, rather than slithering away. Zambia is also home to different species of mambas, cobras and vipers, such as the beautiful Gaboon viper ( Bitis gabonica) which are found in woodlands and forests in the North of the Country. They are found across the Country and many of them are harmless and non-venomous, like the Brown House Snake ( Lamprophis fuliginosus) which are found in urban areas, and Africa’s largest snake, the Southern African Python ( Python natalensis). Of the 92 different species found in Zambia, 16 are considered potentially deadly, with nine delivering painful bites. Snakes are the largest group of reptiles found, belonging to the ‘suborder’ Serpentes.
