Safari in the Hwange National Park

Hwange provides a safari experience to rival the great parks of East Africa—the Serengeti and Masai Mara—but without the crowds. You will have another fun-filled day in the park now looking for your favorite animal or bird and even ignoring the other now common species. On a good day, you may even return to the lodge earlier as you will have seen all there is to be seen.
