This heritage Site is an area of dramatic landscape and ecological processes. Physically protected by the Zambezi River to the north and the steep escarpment (which rises to over 1,000 m from the valley floor) to the south, this site provides shelter for immense congregations of Africa’s large mammal populations which concentrate in its flood plains. While black rhino has disappeared since the property’s inscription, huge herds of elephant and buffalo, followed by zebra, waterbuck and many other antelope species and their associated predators including lion and hyena migrate to the area each year during the dry winter months.
Thank you Virva for my first ever written card from your country.It is beautiful and thank you.
