Hwange

Zimbabwe's largest wildlife reserve — over 100 mammal species and one of Africa's biggest elephant populations, roughly 180km from Victoria Falls.

Why come here.

Hwange doesn't have a single defining river system, so its wildlife concentrates around waterholes instead — which makes sightings consistently good, especially through the dry season from June to October.

Large elephant herds, healthy predator populations including lion and wild dog, and a good chance of sable and roan antelope — species that are harder to find elsewhere in the region. It's a natural add-on to a Victoria Falls stay, whether as a 3-day standalone trip or folded into a longer circuit.

Best time to visit

June to October, when the dry season concentrates animals at waterholes for reliable game viewing.

Signature experiences
