Mosi-ao-Tunya National Park

Mosi-ao-Tunya National Park is Zambia's smallest National Park although one which should not be missed. The park was created to protect not only one of the greatest natural wonders of the world - the Victoria Falls but also the rich wildlife of the surrounding area. This is the only place in Zambia where you are likely to see Rhino. This is also the only place in Zambia where you can go on an elephant back safari and one of the few places where you can safari on horse back. As most visitors are likely to visit the Victoria Falls it is worth allowing an extra day in your itinerary to visit Mosi-ao-Tunya National Park. It is also home to Buffalo, Eland, Giraffe, Sable, Lechwe, warthog, wildebeest, Impala, Hippo, Crocodile and many other species. The Mosi-ao-Tunya, due to its size is probably the best location in Africa to spot some of the rarer species.
