Kaza Park discussions will create largest Park in Africa#

Tourism ministers and environmental experts from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Angola, Botswana and Namibia have been meeting to discuss plans for the largest wildlife sanctuary in Africa.

The proposal is to create the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Park (also sometimes referred to a Kaza Park). The planned conservation area will straddle the borders of Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The main objective of environmentalist is to restore the ancient migratory paths of wildlife which is currently restricted to the National Parks and Game Reserves. The main objective of the tourism ministers is to ensure that Southern Africa maximizes its tourist potential.
