PARK INFORMATION:

Only 66 square Km, plans are in the pipeline to extend Mosi-O-Tunya National Park further up the Zambezi River. Because the park is small, it affords a wonderfully relaxing drive alongside the river for much of the circular route and the wide variety of species can be easily seen.

Mosi-O-Tunya National Park provides the opportunity to spot numerous antelope species, zebra, giraffe, warthog, a variety of birds and smaller animals while on game drives or walks.

Elephants cross the Zambezi River freely between Zimbabwe and Zambia (no passports required for them) and walk through the Mosi-O-Tunya and the surrounding area of Livingstone.

There are several white rhinos, who have breed successfully in the park. These are the only rhinos currently to be seen in Zambia as its previously large population has been completely eliminated through poaching.

One can take a pleasant drive around the park in a couple of hours and all the species there should be seen at close range. Since there are no predators, they are very relaxed and afford some excellent photo opportunities.

Visitors can drive their own vehicles through the park or go on organised open vehicle game drives and recently elephant back safaris have been introduced.
