Hippos can be found in Lake Itezhi-Tezhi though. In the local area there are three hills. They are over 1100m above sea level and the plains around Ngoma are at around 1000m. From Ngoma it is possible to see and walk to Nakalombwe Hill, and behind Ngoma across the river is Nkala Hill. A little way off there is a hill known as the Screaming Chicken Hill. It is possible that this name comes from a tribal ritual.
