You will have breakfast at camp before the transfer to the railway for the rail-car journey to Bomani (note the rail-car does not run from Jan to April, the transfer is done via a short fly hop).
You will arrive at Bomani, and relax in this new environment. Your dinner will be at the camp. Here, you will notice a mix of open grasslands and woodlands that provides the perfect mosaic of habitats for the full spectrum of both grazing and browsing herbivores  resident in Hwange and then, of course, the carnivores that prey on them - lion, leopard, painted dog and both species of Hyena - spotted and the seldom seen brown.
This abundance of wildlife set in both woodlands and open grasslands provides some of the best year-round game viewing to be found anywhere in Zimbabwe.
