Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe

“Gonarezhou” - “Place of many Elephants”.

And many elephants can bee seen in the Gonarezhou National Park which is situated in the south eastern lowveld of Zimbabwe. Three major rivers – The Save, Runde and Mwenezi – cut their courses through the Park, forming pools and natural oases from which hundreds of species of birds, wildlife and fish gather to feed and drink.
