The main lodge is a thatched building made up of a big lounge, a restaurant, bar and an open fire place in front of the lodge. The open design allows easy observation of animals that visit the water hole in front of the lodge. If you dare, you may also want to make use of an observation point that was build right next to the Masuna waterhole.
Camp Hwange is located in a private concession in the Sinamatella area where self-drivers and guests from other lodges are not permitted. Camp Hwange combines well with camps further south-east like Makalolo, Linkwasha and Somalisa.
A short flight (50 minutes) takes guests from Victoria Falls to Hwange Main airstrip, followed by a scenic drive to Hwange Camp (about two hours). A road transfer from Victoria Falls to Camp Hwange via Mbale Gate takes about 4 hours.
At 14'500 km², Hwange National Park is the largest game reserve in Zimbabwe. Open plains made predominantly of Kalahari sand alternate with mopane woodland and acacia scrub. The park offers the densest concentration of game in the whole of Africa.
November heralds the onset of rain and the park's dusty plains are transformed as if by magic into a sea of green. The animals disperse during this period and are thus more difficult to find.
With over 400 species, the park offers a staggering array of birdlife. Several white rhino have been introduced to the area, but spotting them is far from easy. The rare roan and sable antelope, as well as eland, are also at home here, and the chances of snapping the perfect photo are high.
Hippos and crocs can be seen at Mandavu Dam, Masuma Dam or Detema Dam. There are viewing platforms at most public picnic spots in the park.
