Hwange National Park's status as the largest game reserve in Zimbabwe — measuring roughly the size of Belgium — makes it difficult to know how best to explore the area on your own. Instead, join a guided tour that takes you to the park's highlights through a series of wildlife safaris, with plenty of opportunities to view animals like elephant herds, lions, and hyenas in their natural habitat.

Set out on two game drives to spot the park’s animals at their watering holes — Hwange is home to the Cape wild dog, the Southwestern African lion and an enormous population of elephants — before returning to your Victoria Falls hotel. 

The park is close to the edge of the Kalahari desert, a region with little water and very sparse, xerophile vegetation. The Kalahari woodland is dominated by Zambezi Teak, Sand Camwood (Baphia) and Kalahari bauhinia. Seasonal wetlands form grasslands in this area. The north and north-west of the park are dominated by mopane woodland. Although it has been argued that elephant populations cause change in vegetation structure, some recent studies suggest that this is not the case, even with the large increases in elephant population recorded in the late 1980s. The Park hosts over 100 mammal and 400 bird species, including 19 large herbivores and eight large carnivores. All Zimbabwe's specially protected animals are to be found in Hwange and it is the only protected area where gemsbok and brown hyena occur in reasonable numbers. Grazing herbivores are more common in the Main Camp Wild Area and Linkwasha Concession Area, with mixed feeders more common in the Robins woodlands.
