Hwange National Park safaris, lodges and wildlife tours

Hwange National Park is a huge slice of Zimbabwe, close to Victoria Falls, which has been set aside purely for the purpose of conserving wildlife in its natural habitat. With a land area of more than 14 000 square kilometres, Hwange boasts over a hundred different species of animal and four hundred species of bird - a concentration which makes this National Park one of the finest in the world. Hwange is also one of the few great elephant sanctuaries left in Africa. Herds of up to a hundred can be seen finding their way to the watering holes at dusk.
Three camps, Main Camp, Sinimatella and Robins Camp, where visitors can stay in lodges, chalets, tents or caravans, provide accommodation in the park. A 482-kilometre network of game viewing roads leads the visitor to some of the greatest concentrations of game in the world. There can be few experiences on this earth so gratifying as to sit at one of Hwange's viewing platforms by a waterhole, watching an endless procession of game engaged in the timeless dance of survival. Safari operators offer day and moonlight trips, which, during the dry months from August to October, offer all the game, one could ever hope to see.
