Chitake River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chitake River flows through the Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe, and has its source in the Zambezi Escarpment. The source is a perennial spring at the foothills, which flows for 1 kilometre within the canyon walls. The river discharges into the Rukomechi River.

There is a major fossil site on the Chitake River, where large numbers of Syntarsus rhodesiensis have been found.
