Hwange National park

The largest National park in Zimbabwe is the Hwange National Park , which covers an area of more than 14000 sq kms. The area was declared a game reserve by in 1972, by which time its game population had been nearly wiped out by hunters and settlers. Now the park can boast as being one of the most pristine and well-managed areas in the world, with abundant numbers of wildlife as testimony to this fact.

The park has about 90 species of animals, 413 species of birds and approximately 100 species of trees and shrubs. The vegetation ranges from savannah grassland and acacia shrub to grassy vleis and mopane woodlands. 482 sq kms of game viewing gravel roads enable the visitor to see some of the world's greatest concentrations of game. Many viewing platforms have been erected close to waterholes and numerous safari operators offer day moonlight trips to observe the animal's behavior. A great safari experience is guaranteed.

Hwange's accommodation is abundant as its wildlife - from basic self catering national parks chalets to the more luxurious hotel and safari lodges. For those who want to fulfill a childhood dream of sleeping in a tree house, then Sinamatella Camp is the obvious choice.

Gonarezhou & Save Valley

On the Lowveld lies Gonarezhou National Park and the Save Valley Conservancy. Gonarezhou is one of the wildest parks in Zimbabwe , set against the incredible backdrop of the Chilojo Cliffs. As part of the Great Limpopo Park , it has joined together with national parks from neighboring countries of Mozambique and South Africa to create a single large trans-border park. The catalyst for the Save Valley Conservancy was the collapse of the black rhino population in the Zambezi valley. An emergency evacuation of the remaining rhinos was needed, and the area of the Save Valley was ideal. The conservancy is home to 600 elephants that needed to be relocated from the drought-ridden Gonarezhou in 1992.
