Hwange National Park
(Zimbabwe)
Zimbabwe Safaris - Hwange National Park
Hwange National Park is one of Africa's finest havens for wildlife and is home
to vast herds of elephant, buffalo, zebra and very large concentrations of
giraffe. It is also home to many predators and endangered species and varied
birdlife. Hwange National Park covers just over 14 600 square kilometres. The
Park carries 105 mammal species, including 19 large herbivores and eight large
carnivores. Elephant make up the largest proportion of the biomass. All
Zimbabwe's specially protected animals are to be found in Hwange and it is the
only protected area where gemsbok and brown hyena occur in reasonable numbers.
The population of wild dog to be found in Hwange is thought to be of one of the
largest surviving groups in Africa today.
We operate a number of enormous private concessions within Hwange National Park
which offer guests eclusivity and privacy whilst on safari. The area is
ecologically diverse, including vast, open, palm-fringed plains, grasslands,
acacia woodlands and teak forests and this ensures great numbers of animals all
year round - Elephant, Buffalo, Sable, Roan, Giraffe, Wildebeest, Impala and
sometimes even Gemsbok can be seen. These private concessions are also the
better areas in Zimbabwe for sighting predators - Lion, Leopard, Wild Dog and
Cheetah are regularly sighted, along with African Wild Cat, Serval, Honey
Badger, Civet and Hyena. Our safaris are conducted in open 4x4 vehicles by day
and night and guided walks are also undertaken.
