Location: Mosi-Oa-Tunya is a miniature park 66 sq km in size that was established to protect the famous Victoria Falls and environs along the Zambezi River. The river here is fringed with large trees, Llala palms and thick vegetation with mopane woodland behind. Wildlife residents include buffalo, elephant, waterbuck, hippo, vervet monkeys and baboons.
Near the entrance to the Falls on the Zambian side is a car park with curio stalls where baboons regularly mingle with their human cousins, looking for scraps of food.
