The park was established to protect the floodplain habitats adjacent to Victoria Falls town, balancing conservation with tourism that grew after colonial-era access roads opened the area to visitors.
Conservation
Visitor numbers are managed to limit disturbance in the compact park; stick to vehicle tracks, avoid littering and follow guide instructions to reduce impact.

Choose early or late departure
Morning (6–9 AM) or afternoon (3–6 PM) tours increase the chance of predator activity and softer light for photography.
Neutral colors and low-contrast clothing
Wear khaki, green or brown to blend into the environment and avoid startling wildlife and other visitors.
Protect gear from dust
Keep camera lenses capped between stops and bring a small microfiber cloth; safari vehicles kick up dust on unpaved tracks.
Bring cash for tips and souvenirs
Guides and drivers appreciate small gratuities in local currency; cash also helps for park permits or roadside crafts.
Binoculars
Close-range optics improve spotting and let you watch quietly from the vehicle.
Wide‑angle and telephoto camera lenses
A short telephoto (200–300mm) captures wildlife without needing to leave the vehicle; a wide lens records landscapes.
Sun hat and sunscreen
Protection from strong sun during midday and open-vehicle exposure.
