"A premier destination for elephant viewing — more than 40,000 pachyderms reside within the park — this reserve near the Zimbabwe–Botswana border is where you can witness the "super herds," especially during the May-to-October dry season when elephants congregate around watering holes. The park also supports lions, leopards, cheetahs, wild dogs, and rhinos, and its proximity to Victoria Falls (and the international airport there) means you can combine a visit to the country's largest national park with the famous falls in a single trip." - Heather Richardson Heather Richardson Heather Richardson is a journalist based in Cape Town, South Africa.
