Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park is a small but significant protected area in Zambia, covering about 66 square kilometers along the Zambezi River. It is named after the local name for Victoria Falls and encompasses the Zambian viewpoint of the falls, known as the Knife-Edge Bridge. The park is also a sanctuary for white rhinos, elephants, zebras, and giraffes, making it a unique combination of waterfall viewing and wildlife safari. Visitors can walk through the park on marked trails, spotting animals while listening to the thunder of the falls in the distance.
