Situated between Victoria Falls and Bulawayo, Hwange - Zimbabwe’s oldest and biggest National Park - is one of Africa’s finest havens for wildlife and birdlife. It is home to vast herds of elephant, buffalo, zebra and large concentrations of giraffe. It also hosts predators such as lion, leopard, brown hyena and a wild dog population thought to be one of the largest surviving groups in Africa. The park boasts varied landscape. One part runs alongside the north-eastern end of the Kalahari desert. The south is sandy with extensive forests and open grassland. To visit Hwange today is to see what much of the interior of Africa might have resembled more than 150 years ago.
