Venture into Zimbabwe's largest national park on a full-day safari to Hwange, one of Africa's premier wildlife destinations. Located just 2 hours from Victoria Falls, Hwange National Park covers 14,650 square kilometers and is home to over 100 mammal species and 400 bird species, including one of the world's largest elephant populations.

Your day begins with an early morning pickup for the scenic drive to the park, passing through rural villages and typical African savanna landscape. Upon entering Hwange, your expert guide will navigate the network of game drive tracks, using their knowledge of animal behavior and seasonal movements to maximize your wildlife sightings. The park is famous for its elephants—you'll likely see multiple herds throughout the day—but also offers excellent chances of spotting lions (often seen resting in the shade), leopards, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wild dogs, and numerous antelope species.

The diversity of habitats in Hwange, from grasslands to mopane woodland to seasonal pans, means wildlife viewing is excellent year-round. During the dry season (May-October), animals concentrate around the park's many waterholes, making sightings almost guaranteed. The park maintains numerous pumped waterholes specifically for wildlife, creating superb game viewing opportunities. A picnic lunch is enjoyed at one of the park's scenic spots before continuing your afternoon game drive. The day ends with the drive back to Victoria Falls, arriving in the early evening with incredible photos and memories.

Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe's largest game reserve, offers exceptional wildlife viewing just 2 hours from Victoria Falls. Full-day safaris include morning and afternoon game drives through diverse ecosystems. Expect to see large elephant herds (Hwange has 45,000+ elephants), lions, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and numerous antelope species. Lunch at a safari lodge with waterhole viewing. Expert guides share wildlife knowledge throughout the day.

Full-day trip (10-12 hours). Bring passport for park entry. Wear neutral colors, comfortable clothing, hat, and sunscreen. Camera with zoom lens recommended. Lunch and park fees typically included. Suitable for all ages and fitness levels.

Dry season (May-October) for best wildlife concentration at waterholes. September-October are peak months. Wet season (November-April) offers lush scenery and baby animals but more dispersed wildlife.

Book with reputable operators who have park relationships and experienced guides. Bring binoculars for distant sightings. Pack snacks and water beyond what's provided—it's a long day. This is perfect for serious wildlife enthusiasts who want a true bush safari experience beyond Victoria Falls' standard offerings.
