Situated along the upper Zambezi River, this 66
square kilometer park stretches from Victoria

elephants, species of antelope, zebra, giraffe, and a
few newly introduced white rhinos.
One can take a pleasant drive around the park in
a couple of hours and most of the animals can be
seen at a rather close distance. Since there are
no predators, animals in the park are very relaxed
and provide visitors with some excellent photo
opportunities.
