Kaza Park

The Kavango–Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA) is a multi-objective
initiative involving parts of Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe

The above five countries, seek to establish a world-class transfrontier conservation area in the Okavango and Zambezi river basin regions, linking a vast network of national parks, game management areas and conservancies

KaZa park is a massive tourism attraction initiative and it will be the largest trans-frontier conservation area in the world, covering some 280 000 sq. km's.The size of Italy.

A world without borders

It is hoped that by October 2008 only one visa will be required to tour this massive area covering 5 countries, but hay this is Africa with it's own pace and time

Primarily incorporating the Okavango, Zambezi and the Kwando/Linyanti/Chobe systems, focusing on the ‘four corners’ region (the point at which Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe meet, around Impalila Island), and included Angola because of its importance as the source of most of the regions’ rivers

It will incorporate an amazing collection of wildlife areas and National Parks:

Transfrontier Conservation Areas

TFCAs attempt to improve the cooperative management of shared resources, increase the area available for wildlife and plant populations and bring economic benefits to to the local communities adjacent to the Park

The peace-parks ideal acknowledges that animal movements should not be constrained by artificial human boundaries and aims to restore large contiguous habitats as mega parks for wildlife conservation and to attract tourism to the region that can generate sustainable revenues for rural communities.

Giants of Africa

Botswana's elephant population of some 120 000 is the biggest in Africa. Could this be KAZA's greatest marketing tool ? It is envisaged that the movement of earth's gentle giants as well as the little known wildebeest migration in West Zambia /Angola will also be major drawcards.

Approximately 1500 sq.kms in the Luiana Partial Game Reserve of south east Angola have been earmarked for demining. This to allow corridor access for elephants to move into their historical foraging areas.

It will connect protected areas around the Okavango Delta and surrounding region, creating pathways for migrating species like the elephant and all other creatures that follow

Touting Tourism

there is more to KAZA than wildlife, wilderness and wetlands. KAZA is based on the sustainable use of resources of the Kavango and Zambezi river ecosystems - a wildly ambitious plan aimed at
the shared wildlife and socio economic development through the promotion of tourism

2010 is the dateline for the KAZA project to be in place - but don't wait until then to enjoy this unique experience.
