Covering 14’500 km², Hwange National Park is the largest game reserve in Zimbabwe. Open plains with Kalahari sand give way to dense mopane forests and acacia bushes. The park offers one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in the whole of Africa.

With the onset of the wet season in November, the park turns as if by magic from a dusty plain into a swaying mass of lush green grass. It is the time when animals are more difficult to find as they do not gather at the water holes as they do during the dry season.

Several white rhino have been re-introduced to the region, but are very difficult to find. The rare roan and sable antelope and eland are also at home here.
