It was an amazing experience that is unparalleled. Having a that opportunity to see nature up close was just amazing. The big five was something I'd always read about or seen on TV

I recently visited Hwange National Park and had an unforgettable experience! The park's vast wilderness and diverse wildlife left me in awe, with majestic elephants, lions, antelopes, and vibrant birdlife making every game drive a thrilling adventure. The scenic landscapes, from dense forests to open savannas, were breathtakingly beautiful, and the warm hospitality of the park staff and locals made us feel welcome.

We were lucky enough on our first game drive, to be able to follow a lion as it tracked, caught, and killed an injured baby buffalo. Also, there were not very many jeeps underway at the Park, so we often had the feeling that we had the Park to ourselves. Even during the lion kill, there were only a maximum of about 5 jeeps there, all distanced far enough apart that everyone could see but it wasn't crowded. It didn't feel at all like an assembly line game drive, which is a feeling I have had at some of the really well-known game parks in Africa, where there can be a big line of jeeps waiting to see something and no jeep can stay and watch for very long. During our game drives at Hwange, we could take our time looking and photographing.

Would've given Hwange 5 stars, however we did not see any elephants which was highly disappointing since the park is known for the highest elephant population in Africa. What we did see was lovely, but the park is very wooded (not a lot of open space to see animals), so we had many kms of drive where we saw nothing but trees/bushes.

Still a great experience and worth a visist!

Loved the scenery and abundant wildlife. It was a great time to be there as there many more animals than people.

Hwange is a vast area and requires patience and travel over great distances to see the wildlife. There is no fencing so the animals wonder over large areas.
We prefer to get away from volumes of commercial tourism so Hwange is the ideal place for us. We love it and will return as often as we can.
