Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park is divided into two sections; a game park along the riverbank and the staggering Victoria Falls, each with separate entrances.
The park has a variety of animal species including the only remaining white rhino in Zambia. Baboons are frequently seen on the paths leading to the falls and small antelopes and warthogs inhabit the rainforests that hug the edge of the falls. In the wildlife reserve, the pastures and tall riverine forests contain plenty of birds and a scattering of animals including some, elephants, giraffe, zebra, sable, eland, buffalo and impala.
