About
Hwange is Zimbabwe's largest national park, and its 756 Google reviews average 4.4. It suits anyone who wants a proper safari, from one long day on a game drive to several nights in the park's camps.
The wildlife is the headline. Reviewers report elephants everywhere, along with zebra, giraffe, kudu, buffalo, lions, hyenas and, for one visitor, cheetahs. Google's profile mentions lookouts and viewing platforms, and reviewers describe waterholes with towers or hides. One visitor praises the guides for teaching you how to look and read small signs, not just for finding animals. Another says the park is not crowded and the camps are comfortable.
Getting around needs planning. One reviewer did it as a day trip from Victoria Falls and found it long, mostly because of a badly potholed road, though the lunch stop had clean facilities. Another recommends a good 4x4 and an experienced guide for the uneven unsealed roads, and suggests about three days to see most of the wildlife. Midday can be very hot, so keep drinking water.
