Hwange National Park

Hwange National Park

Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest national park, stretching across 14,000 square kilometers, an area equivalent to Wales in the UK. Established as a game reserve in 1928, this once modest wildlife center has evolved into the expansive reserve it is today, home to large herds of animals roaming freely.

It is estimated that Hwange National Park is home to around 40,000 elephants, and most visitors never tire of seeing them. Majestic sable antelope, zebras, roan antelope, waterbuck, bad-tempered African buffalo, and the tall, gentle giraffes are just a few of the wildlife species commonly spotted during game drives. At dawn and dusk, both on safari drives and from viewing platforms near waterholes, visitors can witness unforgettable scenes of nature in this wild haven.

Any time of year is good for visiting Hwange National Park. In the early post-rainy season, the vegetation is lush and green, colorful wildflowers carpet the ground, and newborn animals can be seen playing alongside their parents. In Zimbabwe, visitors can always expect high standards of comfort and warm hospitality from the local people.
