Tour Plan
Your safari begins with a scenic transfer from Victoria Falls Airport or Bulawayo to Hwange National Park, a legendary reserve teeming with wildlife and natural drama. Arrive at your safari lodge or luxury tented camp nestled near a waterhole or deep within the park’s wild terrain. After settling in and enjoying lunch, set out on your first afternoon game drive, guided by expert rangers. Expect early sightings of elephant herds, buffalo, zebras, and perhaps a pride of lions lounging in the shade. Return to camp just after sunset for dinner under the stars, followed by a fireside chat or quiet time listening to the sounds of the African bush.
Rise with the sun for a morning game drive, when the park is most alive with activity. Hwange is home to over 100 mammal species, including rare sable antelope, giraffes, hyenas, and African wild dogs, plus more than 400 species of birds. Return to camp for a hearty brunch and a siesta during the heat of the day. In the late afternoon, head out for another drive, exploring different sections of the park’s diverse landscape — from teak forests to open plains and seasonal pans that attract a multitude of game. Cap off the evening with a bush dinner or drinks at a lookout point with stunning sunset views.
Start the day with a guided walking safari, a thrilling way to experience the park’s flora and fauna from a new perspective. Learn about animal tracks, plants, and the smaller creatures that often go unnoticed from a vehicle. Return for lunch and relaxation, then in the afternoon, enjoy time at a photographic hide overlooking a waterhole — a peaceful but action-packed way to observe elephants, impalas, and predators up close in their natural routines. End the day with a more intimate night game drive, offering the chance to see nocturnal animals like bush babies, aardvarks, and possibly leopards on the hunt.
After breakfast, take one final early morning game drive — a last chance to soak in Hwange’s wild beauty and say goodbye to the animals that made your safari unforgettable. You’ll then be transferred back to Victoria Falls or Bulawayo for your onward travel. Depart with unforgettable memories of wide-open spaces, close-up encounters, and the deep, untamed soul of Hwange National Park.
