Hwange National Park
Zimbabwe's largest national park, known for its elephant populations and for game viewing built around waterholes and pumped pans.
Overview
About Hwange National Park
Hwange is Zimbabwe's largest national park and the country's best-known wildlife destination. It lies inland from Victoria Falls on the edge of the Kalahari sands, and much of its game viewing is built around waterholes and pans, where animals come to drink rather than the visitor searching for them across open country.
That makes Hwange a patient, rewarding park: time spent sitting at water is often more productive than distance covered, and it suits travellers who want a genuine safari rather than a checklist.
Hwange National Park lies in Matabeleland North in western Zimbabwe, inland from the town of Victoria Falls towards the Botswana border.

Travel information
Practical notes before you go
- Getting here
- Hwange is reached overland from Victoria Falls and from other Zimbabwean centres. We arrange transport and timing as part of your itinerary rather than quoting a fixed transfer here.
- Best time to visit
- Game viewing at water is generally strongest in the drier months, while the green season changes both vegetation and birdlife. We will set honest expectations for your specific travel dates.
- Accommodation and pricing
- Lodges, camps and park arrangements are confirmed with you at enquiry stage, with an itemised quotation for your dates and group.
