Hwange National Park, located in Zimbabwe, is a premier destination for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. The journey begins with a scenic drive, where participants can witness the transition from urban landscapes to the untamed wilderness that characterizes Hwange. This contrast sets the stage for an enriching exploration of one of Africa's largest game reserves. We will pick you from your lodge in Victoria Falls early in the morning around 0600hrs. Upon arrival at Hwange, you are greeted by a plethora of wildlife species, including elephants, lions, and various antelope species. The park is renowned for its large elephant population, which provides unique opportunities for observation and photography. This drive will allow you to engage with knowledgeable rangers who offer insights into animal behavior and conservation efforts. Such interactions enhance the educational value of the safari experience. We will have lunch for the day in the park.
Prepare yourself for the Hwange 'night act' featuring a whole new cast. You will depart from the lodge with your guide, spotlight and camera at the ready. This is the ultimate time for spotting the big cats, from leopards or lion on the hunt, followed by spotted hyena looking for leftovers.
