Hwange National Park Safari

Spend two days game viewing in this magnificent park. Hwange is Zimbabwe’s largest National Park, accounting for an area of 14,651km² being approximately half the size of Belgium. Hwange National Park is a haven for over 100 mammal and 400 bird species, the park protects populations of all of Zimbabwe’s endangered species, elephants numbering in excess of 20,000 (up from around 4,000 when the park was proclaimed), and what is thought to be one of the largest populations of African wild dog left in the world. Large prides of lion and buffalo are frequently seen here and you have a good chance of spotting leopard in addition to cheetah and spotted hyena. Back at camp, you can cool off during the activities, enjoy delicious meals and be entertained by the comings and goings of a large variety of game at the waterhole.

Changa’s unique and secluded setting under sprawling Mopane woodland along Kariba’s shoreline brings a calm atmosphere with a central pool, private beach and outdoor bar/dining area. And for the next three days the pace is once again set by you.

Game Viewing and Boating on Lake Kariba

You can set off a guided walk early morning, where nature’s little details come into full focus. Or choose a game drive that will take you further afield, round to the flood plain and the red sandy shoreline where the resident lion pride is known to hang out. Or if fishing is your thing, you can cast off from the bank or from a boat. And during the heat of the day you can either relax around the pool, or hang in a hammock. The breathtaking blend of bush, mountains and water in this special spot makes Changa an absolute must on your travel list.
