Situated in southeastern Zimbabwe, the 5,000 sq km Gonarezhou National Park is the second largest national park in the country, and forms part of one of the world's largest conservation areas-the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park, with the Kruger National Park of South Africa to the south and the Limpopo National Park of Mozambique to the southeast. Gonarezhou, which is translated as "the place of elephants" in local Shona language, also has one of the world's highest elephant population densities-2 elephants per sq kilometers-with an estimated total elephant population of 11,000.
