Size Matters

At 519 912km², KAZA is 27 times bigger than Kruger National Park, larger than Greece and Germany combined and nearly twice the size of the United Kingdom. Straddling five international borders, where Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Angola and Namibia converge in the Kavango and Zambezi river basins, KAZA includes no fewer than 20 national parks, 85 forest reserves, 22 conservancies, three World Heritage sites, half the continent’s elephants and is home to three million people. No one description can encompass the tremendous diversity of this region, this mosaic of forests, desert, savannas and wetlands, floodplains, swamps and a salt pan.
