There are three different sections to find Hwange National Park lodges, camps and private villas for the best accommodation and safari experience – Robins, Sinimatella and Main Camp. Each section has its own distinct characters, pans, dominant species and ecology that can be experienced from the Hwange National Park lodges. Hwange is the largest wildlife reserve in Zimbabwe AND The one noticeable and consistent feature throughout the Park is the lack of water which means that game congregate around the water holes.
Most pans are man-made in a conscious conservation effort for the survival of the park and its inhabitants. Water is pumped into the pans during the dry season, a savior for many species and a big reason for those incredible game sightings from the Hwange National Park lodges.
It is an open invitation to explore and fully immerse yourself in nature during a safari to Hwange. The park is just over 100km from Victoria Falls and may be accessed by road or private air charter.
