Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, National park in Southern Province, Zambia
The 66-square-kilometer park extends along the northern banks of the Zambezi River, featuring Victoria Falls and diverse wildlife populations.
The national park, established in 1971, preserves the area where David Livingstone first documented Victoria Falls for European records in 1855.
The name Mosi-oa-Tunya originates from the Lozi language, reflecting the local population's interpretation of the water vapor rising from Victoria Falls.
Visitors can access the park through Livingstone city, with guided tours available for wildlife viewing, boat rides, and walking safaris.
The park contains Zambia's only wild white rhinoceros population, protected by 24-hour armed surveillance to prevent poaching.
