Zambezi National Park is a national park and game reserve in Victoria Falls Zimbabwe. The park is located on some parts, along the Zambezi River. Zambezi National Park is 56,000ha in size and is a few kilometres upstream from the Victoria Falls. The northern border of the Park is formed by the great Zambezi River which also forms the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia for much of its length.
See Wildlife, Zimbabwe.
Background
The Zambezi National Park was split off from Victoria Falls National Park in 1979 so that Victoria Falls town could be extended to the river. The main road to Kazungula runs through the park, dividing it into two sections – the riverine side and the Chamabonda Vlei section.[1]
Activities
- Upper Zambezi Canoe trips are conducted.
- Game viewing
- Picnic Sites - 25 numbered sites along the bank of the river where day visitors may picnic
