Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Livingstone, Zambia, is a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for encompassing one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world, Victoria Falls. The park spans 66 square kilometers and is divided into two sections: the Falls section and the wildlife section. Visitors can witness the awe-inspiring sight of the Zambezi River plummeting over a precipice, creating an immense spray that earned the Falls the local name "Mosi-oa-Tunya," meaning "The Smoke That Thunders." In addition to the breathtaking Victoria Falls, the park offers a variety of wildlife experiences. It is home to several species of large mammals, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, and white rhinos, making it a prime location for game viewing. The park is also an excellent spot for birdwatching, with over 400 species recorded. Adventure activities such as guided walking safaris, boat cruises on the Zambezi River, and helicopter flights over the Falls provide diverse ways to explore this magnificent landscape.
