Hwange National Park is located in western Zimbabwe and is the country's largest national park, spanning an area of approximately 14'650km². Hwange has one of the largest elephant populations in Africa, with an estimated 40'000 elephants residing in the park. Other notable species found in Hwange include giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, lions, buffalos, wild dogs, leopards, and numerous antelope species. The park's landscape varies from grasslands and woodlands to rocky outcrops and semi-desert areas. It is characterized by the Kalahari sandveld in the south and mopane woodland in the north. The National Park is a popular destination for wildlife enthusiasts and offers various activities such as game drives, walking safaris, and bird watching. Visiting Hwange National Park provides a chance to witness the incredible biodiversity of Zimbabwe and experience the beauty of its natural surroundings.
mana pools National Park
Mana Pools National Park is located in northern Zimbabwe, on the southern bank of the mighty Zambezi River, and will keep you enthralled with its beauty. In this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you can see hippos, crocodiles, elephants and a variety of water birds, and there is a good chance of seeing lionesses hunting at waterholes where prey seems easy to capture. Mana Pools is a paradise for walking and canoeing safaris, with wildlife that will delight you at every turn. The landscapes are beautiful too, with acacia trees, whose shade is vital for the elephants in the park during the dry season, and a variety of plants. Far from any human settlement, you will enjoy the feeling of remoteness. You are surrounded only by extreme wilderness, and if you come in winter, you will find yourself in the midst of the highest concentration of wildlife in Africa. An experience that words cannot do justice to.
Matobos national park
Rich in history and culture and spanning over 44'000 hectares, Matobo National Park is a spectacular site. The park is decorated by a range of unique granite formations. This majestic and rugged terrain is a hiker’s paradise and the diversity of the vegetation supports a wide range of wildlife. Bushmen 2'000 years ago left brilliantly-preserved rock paintings and a valuable collection of rock art, which can be seen on the cave walls. Our favourite aspect of Matobo, however, is the Intensive Protection Zone, where a large population of Black and White Rhinoceros are successfully breeding. To spot one of these endangered creatures is truly humbling and the efforts going into their revival is inspiring. Beyond the rhinoceros, you can expect to see zebra, giraffe, warthog, waterbuck, baboons, monkey … the list goes on. And if you look to the skies, you’ve got a fantastic chance of spotting black eagles. Yet another UNESCO wonderland.
