Situated within remote Zimbabwe, Hwange National park is the country’s largest park, covering an area of 14 600km2 (more than 5,600 square miles). This large size leads to varying game and landscapes. From the desert scrubs on the edge of the Kalahari, to granite hills, woodlands filled with mopane and teak, as well as wide grass plains fringed by palm trees and acacias. This landscape diversity allows for a flourishing wide range of wildlife. With over 100 species of mammals and almost 400 species of birds, Hwange National Park also contains one of the largest Elephant populations in the world. Other rare animals regularly spotted include the Roan and Sable Antelope. With an abundance of food, massive herds of buffalo can also be spotted traversing Hwange’s grass plains.
Having secured and designated areas, Hwange National Park is suitable for camping should you wish to add a more genuine and “one with nature” experience to your safari.
Being easily accessible with only a 2 hour drive from Victoria Falls, the Iconic Hwange National Park is a must see for those seeking a unique location for a safari you will never forget.
