Zambezi National Park
About
National Park stretching 50 kms upstream and inland from Victoria Falls, along the Zambezi River towards Kazungula.The Zambezi National Park is located upstream from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, stretching for some 50 kilometres along the Zambezi river.This beautiful gem of a National Park is little known, despite its proximity to the world famous Victoria Falls. Split off from the Victoria Falls National Park in 1979, the 56,000 hectares of pristine wilderness and wildlife habitat has been a National Park in its own right ever since.The Park is bisected by a tar road which runs between Victoria Falls and the Kazangula border post, dividing it into two sections:- 1. The Zambezi River Game Drive, with an extensive network of roads and scenery along the river accessed through the main gate of the National Park, a few kilometres upstream of the Victoria Falls. 2. The 25 kilometre Chamabondo Game Drive in the southern part of the Park, which begins about 5 kilometres south of Victoria Falls town off the main highway (A8) to Bulawayo. Spectacular sunrises and sunsets are the norm along this river and the area is popular for both landscape and wildlife photography.
