There are two national parks at The Victoria Falls which are relatively smaller, Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park (16,309 acres) and Victoria Falls National Park (5,683 acres). Both these parks are under Zimbabwean area.
Zambezi National Park in Zambian territory(south to the falls) is having bigger area in comparison to the above two(extending 40 kms).
Animals can move between the two Zimbabwean parks and can also reach Matetsi Safari Area, Kazuma Pan National Park and Hwange National Park to the south(All in Zimbabwe).
All these national parks contain abundant wildlife including sizable populations of elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, and a variety of antelope. Lion and leopard are only occasionally seen. Vervet monkeys and baboons are common. The river above the falls contains large populations of hippopotamus and crocodile. Elephants cross the river in the dry season at particular crossing points.
So the safari to Southern Africa is time worthy.
