Transfer to Hwange National Park - Let the Safari Begin
Morning drive to Hwange National Park and onto Malindi Station Camp. You'll enjoy the drama of game drives and walks with armed rangers in Zimbabwe's prime wilderness area. Guides in Zimbabwe are known across Africa for their exceptional skill, depth of knowledge, and rigorous training—arguably some of the most comprehensive on the continent. To become a fully licensed professional guide, candidates must pass demanding examinations that cover animal behavior, botany, geology, ornithology, survival skills, tracking, navigation, and advanced first aid. The process often takes several years. Beyond technical expertise, Zimbabwean guides are celebrated for their storytelling, cultural insight, and ability to connect visitors with the country’s history, traditions, and conservation efforts.
Afternoon relaxation followed by an evening game drive. You will enjoy dinner under the stars.
