Overview
Spanning an area of roughly 14 650km (roughly the size of Belgium), the Hwange National Park is the largest and oldest game reserve in Zimbabwe. Prior to being established as a National Park in 1929, it served as royal hunting grounds for the Ndebele kings in the early 19th century. It is named after a local Nhanzwa tribe chief, Hwange Rosumbani, and is one of Africas last vast unfenced wildernesses, a truly iconic destinationHighlights

This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Hwange National Park, Hwange National Park, Matabeleland North Province
06H00 - Depart your hotel in Victoria falls and head for the Hwange National park .This is a 195km drive and takes about two and half hour of safe driving. The roads to the park are all tarred. You will be at the Main Camp (National Parks HQ and the safari starting point) at around 08H30and after a few minutes of check in formalities the safari starts.
You will do the full day drive with lunch at any one of the many viewing platforms. Mineral water and refreshments are all provided. Hwange is endowed with many solar powered waterholes and there are no permanent rivers in the park, so most animals can be seen on their way to and from the water holes.
The elephants of Hwange are world famous and the Park's elephant population is one of the largest in the world. The park is home to over 65 000 elephants who in the dry season dominate all the water points in the afternoons. Other animals that can be seen in the park are lion, leopard, cheetah, rhino, buffalo, impala, kudu, sable, eland, waterbuck, zebra, giraffe, baboon, warthog and a lot more.
Hwange National Park provides a safari experience to rival the great parks of East Africa - the Serengeti and Masai Mara - but without the crowds.
We will leave for the Park at 16H30 and expect to be back at your hotel at around 19H30.

thank you Emmanuel, our kind driver, on time, reliable with a great well air conditionned mini bus just for the two of us. The day in Hwange went with our guide Lawrence, just great, we even saw a lion crossing the road, the one and only lion in a one month trip!! lots of elephants, giraffs and antilops as well, thank you for a wonderful long day. I almost forgot the home made lunch in a shady pick nick area even with table cloth!!

We were fortunate to be the only two in the vehicle for a 6 hour safari, it took a while to start seeing wild life but closer to the end we started to see some, mostly elephants and it was amazing see these large group of elephants in the wild they are so active.

Transfer Zambia to Zimbabwe went well as did the 200 km drive to Hwange. Hwange Lodge very nice and perhaps should have stayed here. Hwange .. not many animals at all, quite disappointed, however we did see three new antelope species. DK's a good company
