Victoria Falls National Park

Victoria Falls National Park is located in Zimbabwe, adjacent to the spectacular Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River. This park, along with Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia, was collectively designated a World Heritage site in 1989. The area is rich in wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, and leopards, as well as various antelope species and hippopotamuses. Birdlife is also abundant, with falcons, eagles, and buzzards inhabiting the rock cliffs. The park's forests feature acacia, teak, and ebony trees, while mopane dominates the alluvial flatlands. The park offers recreational facilities and is a significant tourist destination, drawing visitors from around the globe to witness the grandeur of the falls, which are known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning "The Smoke That Thunders".1
