Mana Pools Park, Zimbabwe
From series “The Unesco World Heritage Sites in Africa”
Travellers who prefer natural sights can travel to Mana Pools in Zimbabwe. This piece of undeveloped nature lies in the northern part of the country, on the banks of the Zambezi river. Its main peculiar feature is the abundance of marshes, fresh water of which attracts numerous wild animals. Typical inhabitants of the nature reserve are buffaloes and elephants, leopards and cheetahs, as well as the Nile crocodile.
The area of the nature reserve is 219600 hectares. During a dry season it becomes a real rescue for the populations of wild animals. The surrounding rivers dry out completely in the drought, so the animals go to the swampy districts. During excursions through the nature reserve visitors can see rare black rhinos, as well as African elephants and lions. In this area hyena dogs also live, as well as various species of antelopes and zebras.
