 African plans largest game park
Plans to create the world's largest game park are being finalised at a meeting in Botswana in southern Africa.
The planned conservation area will straddle the borders of Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
It is hoped the park will bring in tourists to such attractions as the Victoria Falls, Okavango swamps, Chobe National Park and Caprivi Strip.
Officials believe it will also help regional tourism ahead of the 2010 World Cup taking place in South Africa.
The prosposed Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Park will cost an estimated $100m to set up and is expected to contribute significantly to job creation in the five countries.
Africa's biggest game park at the moment is the 35,000-square-kilometre Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park on the borders of Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
