The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Board is responsible for maintaining ten national parks, nine leisure parks, four botanical gardens, four safari zones and three protected areas. These areas are known as “Wildlife Estates” and cover an area of around 47,000 square kilometres, or 12.5% of Zimbabwe’s total land area.<\/p>\n
The best-known parks are Hwange National Park, Mana Pool National Park, Victoria Falls National Park and Zambezi National Park. Hwange is Zimbabwe’s largest park and home to one of the world’s largest elephant populations. Mana Pools is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its wildness and beauty, with all its mammals and birds.<\/p>\n
Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya (“the smoke that roars”), is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, as it is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories":[73],"class_list":["post-18979","faqs","type-faqs","status-publish","hentry","category-information-en","countries-zimbabwe-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs\/18979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faqs"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africanelegancesafaris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
