Fly to Hwange's Camp Hwange

Fly to Hwange's Camp Hwange

After breakfast, you will transfer to Victoria Falls Airport for a charter flight to Hwange National Park, to the heart of the reserve where your guide from Camp Hwange is waiting for you. Your game viewing starts now! Transfer to the camp where you will spend 3 nights on an inclusive basis.

Camp Hwange is ideally located on a private concession within the national park. This private area in the central part of Hwange lies between the rugged mopane woodlands and their kopjes to the north, and the sandy soil teak forests to the south-west; its location here on the open savannah means that the game viewing is as diverse as the habitat types.

With only four tents, Camp Hwange is intimate. Each light, airy has a spacious ensuite bathroom and lovely deck that overlooks the active waterhole. The main area has a comfy lounge and dining spaces, the pool is inviting in the summer months and the boma is the place to gather around the fire at night. All spaces overlook the waterhole!

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit July to October (Middle and end of the Dry season)
High Season June to October (Hwange’s main area can become busy)

Game Drives & Bush Walks in Hwange

Game Drives & Bush Walks in Hwange

Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe’s largest and most diverse reserve, spans over 14,600 square kilometres and is renowned for its vast elephant herds and remarkable wildlife. The park hosts over 100 mammal species, including lions, leopards, and rare African wild dogs, as well as 400 bird species. Diverse landscapes from teak forests to open savannah provide rich habitats, making Hwange a top safari destination.

The guides at Camp Hwange are some of the very best in Zimbabwe, all with high level qualifications. They will take you on game drives in the open safari vehicles, walk you up to a log pile hide next to a waterhole to watch animals quietly on foot, and longer bush walks in the incredible landscape.

This part of Hwange is excellent for game viewing all year round and in the dry season, the waterholes are the place to be as animals all congregate to drink.
