Victoria Falls - Turns out it's not just traders who crisscross their way over borders in this part of Africa.
Elephants appear to do it too - in ways not always expected, according to researchers tracing the movements of elephant populations in the wider Victoria Falls area.
Lionalert.org has just published a brief summary of observation work carried out by a team of researchers on their Elephant Programme in Livingstone, on the Zambian side of Vic Falls.
They've been involved in studying images taken of these giant mammals between the middle of May and the end of July in Zambia's Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.
What they've found is that a total of at least 280 elephants were seen in the area in that two-and-a-half-month period.
