Hwange National Park was founded in 1928 and is Zimbabwe’s largest park, playing host to the greatest elephant population in Africa, as well as over 100 mammals and 400 bird species.From the sand flats of the Kalahari in the south to the lush teak forest and hills of the north, the park sustains a wide range of game including great herds of buffalo, eland, sable, roan and zebra as well as lion, cheetah, leopard and wild dogs.The main activity here is safari, which can be enjoyed either in 4x4s or by walking with possibly some of the finest guides on the continent. Thanks to the vast number of privately maintained waterholes within the Park, game viewing is spectacular and a stay here is an absolute must.
