The two national parks at the falls are relatively small—Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park is 66 square kilometres and Victoria Falls National Park is 23 square kilometres. Animals can move between the two Zimbabwean parks and can also reach other nearby parks.
The most notable aspect of the area's vegetation is the rainforest nurtured by the spray from the falls, containing plants rare for the area such as pod mahogany, ebony, ivory palm, wild date palm and a number of creepers and lianas. Vegetation has suffered in recent droughts, and so have the animals that depend on it, particularly the antelope.
