Spanning an area of roughly 14 650km², the Hwange National Park is the largest and oldest game reserve in Zimbabwe. You will be picked by 06:00am at your hotel for a 2hrs drive through Hwange, a rustic and charming town dotted with villages within rural African landscape. Upon arrival at Hwange Safari Lodge/Main Camp, you will be transferred to an open game drive vehicle and escape for some amazing game viewing sites of Zimbabwe. The park has been molded by the hooves of over 100 species of mammals, and trees that are home to over 300 species of birds. After the morning game drive, you will then be served a picnic lunch by your guide then later continue to wonder the park exploring Africa's greatest nature. If you allow yourself adequate time you will probably see nearly all major species and accompanying predators such as elephants, zebras, lion, impala, hyenas, roan, sable, kudu, etc. By 1600 hours you will be transferred back to Vic-Falls by your driver and arrive around 1900 hours.

August, September, October and early November are by far the best months for game viewing in this park. Water becomes extremely scarce and the animals congregate around the few pumped waterholes. Sitting patiently and quietly at one of these water holes will reward you with very good game viewing.

During the rainy season from late November through to April, a completely different park emerges to that of the dry season. Parched savannahs turn into lush fields with an abundance of grazing. The animals disperse and game viewing becomes limited. It's called the green season and has it's own magic as this is when the park and all the animals rejuvenate themselves, feeding like crazy on the abundance of food. Newly born animals can be seen everywhere and the birdlife is absolutely prolific.
