Classic Hwange Package
Take a safari in the largest National Park in Zimbabwe. Hwange is a blend of semi-desert, forest and open savannah and is home to great herds of elephant, big cats and a myriad of plains game.
Visit Hwange National Park
An hour’s drive from Victoria Falls, this package takes in the largest Park in Zimbabwe. At 14,600 square kilometre in size, Hwange National Park is home to the “Presidential Herd” of elephants and the iconic giraffe is a common sighting. The vast space the ideal way in which to immerse yourself in the authentic spirit of a safari.
Meet the local people
A traditional safari is not limited to spotting animals. It is about embracing new cultures too. Which is why this package includes an outing to one of the many schools and communities that we have formed relationships with where you can experience the warm hospitality that the people of Africa are known for.
See the endangered African wild dogs
The African wild dog – also known as the “painted dog” for its attractive colouring – is one of the most endangered animals in the continent. This package includes an outing to Zimbabwe’s Painted Dog Conservation Centre to meet with the volunteers who are working hard to save these fascinating social creatures from extinction.
Our packages are inclusive of meals, selected drinks, activities and internal flights
