A National Park in Northern Rhodesia

Extract

By a Proclamation dated 20th April, 1950, the Governor of Northern Rhodesia has established a National Park, to be known as the Kafue National Park.

This new park covers some 8,650 square miles roughly in the central Kafue basin, between latitudes 14° and 16° 40′ S. It contains a wide range of country from the comparatively dry sandy lands of the south to the big rivers, swamps, and heavy timber of the northern section. The magnificent Kafue River dominates the whole central portion, adding scenic beauty to the attraction of wild life.
