The Experience

An exhilarating full-day expedition to Hwange National Park — Zimbabwe's largest park and Africa's premier elephant sanctuary. Departing Victoria Falls before sunrise, your expert guide navigates the park in a purpose-built 4x4 game viewer, stopping at famous waterholes where herds of up to 300 elephants gather during dry season. Lions, wild dogs, leopard, cheetah and over 400 bird species await. This is one of Zimbabwe's most rewarding day trips.
