I truly enjoyed the park in Hwange, and it was very apparent why it is such a desired safari destination. I saw a lot of wildlife, which was not only varied, but seemed thriving. It is an interesting mix of flora and fauna, and I hope to be able to return soon.

Everything about the Hide in Hwange works well. The rooms are comfortable without being unnecessarily opulent and are right for the location. The travel arrangements ( you are picked up from the Park Entrance) work really well, there is abundant game and a wide choice of excursions and drives. The staff, with whom you eat the exceptionally good food, are extremely knowledgeable and hard working. Its a rare destination and not to be missed.

I went on a 5-day safari in Zimbabwe and had an incredible experience!
Hwange National Park offers an excellent structure with very expert guides (my guide on Game Drive was Talks and he is incredible!), fascinating scenery with a variety of surprising wild animals. I saw lions, elephants, zebras, antelopes, pumbas, monkeys and different birds. Always respecting and appreciating nature freely - the most important part of a safari.
My guide for the entire tour was Muza and he offered valuable tips and guidance throughout the itinerary.
I strongly recommend!!!

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.
