Gamedrive in Hwange

Enjoy a game drive in Hwange: arguably one of Africa’s very best game-viewing destinations. This massive park has an impressive range of wildlife - lion, leopard, rhino, giraffe, buffalo, zebra, gemsbok, hyena, wild dog, and more. It is mirrored by the diversity of the park’s environment: the sandy southern part of the park skirts along the Kalahari Desert, while the northern grasslands are thick with granite outcrops and groves of teak and mopane trees. Hwange is home to one of the largest elephant herds in the whole continent, and it is also the largest - spanning an area of 14,600km² - and oldest national park in Zimbabwe.
