TitleIntoduction Sioma Ngwezi N.P. t is really very close to the Victoria Falls/Livingstone area, which has a huge reservoir of visitors keen to do short safari trips. Tourism to Namibia's Caprivi Strip is rapidly taking off, and with the Golden Highway (which runs across the Strip) being completely tarred, access to the vicinity of the park is very good. Also mooted has been its inclusion in a trans-frontier conservation area, or 'peace park' as they're widely known. However, despite all this, the park remains largely unvisited, whilst its game is persecuted and the local communities around it subsist in poverty.\ Positioned in the far southwestern corner of Zambia, Sioma Ngwezi National Park shares a long border with Angola, along the Kwando River, and also a short border with Namibia in the south. This corner is less than 50km from northern Botswana, and its vegetation and landscape owe much to the Kalahari sand that lies beneath it
