Hwange National Park Accommodation

Named after a local Nhanzwa chief, Hwange Rosumbani, Hwange National Park in Matabeleland is Zimbabwe's biggest and oldest game reserve. Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe is situated on the main road between Bulawayo and the world famous Victoria Falls (about two hours drive from Hwange National Park). Hwange National Park is one of Africa's finest havens for wildlife, is about 14,650km² (roughly the size of Belgium or Wales), and adjoins the Botswana Chobe National Park. This gives the vast Zimbabwe elephant herds (thought to be anything between 20 000 to 75 000 and up to 110 000), in both Hwange National Park and Chobe National Park freedom to roam and feed, making it one of the last great unfenced wilderness areas allowing uninterrupted large mammal movement as far as the Botswana Okavango Delta.

Hwange National Park accommodation offers Hwange National Park bush lodge accommodation, and Hwange National Park private game reserve accommodation offers luxurious privacy with old world hospitality for those looking for a real 'African' adventure.

- Ivory Lodge, Hwange National Park accommodation gives guests the opportunity to view some of Hwange National Park's most prolific wildlife species from the comfort of their rooms - from big cat carnivores to herds of buffalo and elephant, sometimes up to 500 strong.

- Khulu Lodge, Hwange National Park accommodation offers guests walking and driving safaris, and pan/hide sits, all popular ways of seeing Hwange National Park wildlife.

In terms of game viewing, the best time to visit Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park is between June and October, when the temperature is hot during the day but can drop to below freezing at night. During Hwange National Park's dry winter months the animals are concentrated around the man-made waterholes, making for spectacular game viewing. Hwange National Park's summer season generally starts with fresh rains in November, bringing the arrival of migrant birds and the movement of mammals in search of fresh growth. The bush gets thick, insects flourish, birding improves, but Hwange National Park's game viewing dwindles as the wildlife retreats in search of cool shelters.
