Hwange National Park presents an exceptional opportunity to extend your African safari experience beyond Zambia. Situated northwest of Zimbabwe, with its eastern part being the closest Livingstone, this vast conservation area, formerly known as Wankie Game Reserve, spans approximately 14,600 square kilometres, making it Zimbabwe's largest protected wilderness. Nearby, the village of Matetsi also delivers superb safari experiences, complementing the park’s own offerings.
The park is home to over 100 mammal species and 400 bird varieties, including rare sightings of gemsbok, brown hyenas, African wild dogs, cheetahs, and leopards, alongside spectacular avian species such as the southern ground hornbill and martial eagle Hwange Safaris offers comprehensive tour packages, wildlife viewing expeditions, and accommodation within the park.
Note this magnificent reserve lies within Zimbabwe's borders, requiring proper travel documentation for entry to both Zambia and Zimbabwe to facilitate this extraordinary cross-border adventure.
