What’s Unique about Hwange ? . . . Hwange is Zimbabwe’s largest National Park, covering an area of over 14,500 square kilometres – almost the size of Belgium. The Park is renowned for its vast elephant population (estimated to be over 40,000 in peak season). It boasts a fascinating diversity of fauna and flora, and one of the widest variety of large mammals in the world. ‘Spectacular Seasonal Contrast’Hwange stages spectacular seasonal contrast. In the peak of the dry season, when scorching days, scarcity of water, and sundown sees thirsty heards fight for place to drink, up to 1,000 elephants can descend on a single waterhole in a day. An urgent frenzy of feet and the ensuing cloud of dust smothers the setting sun, to colour the African dusk red. In striking contrast, the welcome onset of heavy rains in the wet season brings refreshing change. A once dusty landscape turns a lush green, showcasing new life at every turn, an abundance of plains game, and a fascinating array of resident and migratory birds. ‘A Photographic Paradise’Hwange National Park is vast, affording visitors stunning scenic and wildlife variety. It is the perfect place for excellent photographic opportunity. |
