HWANGE

Hwange National Park in the northwest of Zimbabwe is one of Africa’s prime parks. It covers nearly 15,000 km2 of heat blistered Kalahari sand country - mainly grassland plains with scattered bush and trees, and sustains a greater variety and density of wildlife than any other area. Hwange has no perennial streams, but there is plenty of water in the pump-supplied waterholes and its many natural pans fill up after the summer rains.  These pans nurture great numbers of elephant, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, sable, roan as well as the predators - lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and wild dog.

Makalolo Plains Camp
Located within the National Park well away from the congested main gate in an ecologically diverse area. This tented camp, accommodating 16 guests, is elevated on teak decking and has a good view of a very busy water hole, especially over the winter months when one can watch the passing parade of game as they quench their thirst. The area is known for excellent predator sightings. Little Makalolo Camp accommodates 8 guests in ensuite tents at ground level. Both camps offer game drives and walking safaris with professional guides and have plunge pools.

The Hide
Situated within the National Park and accommodates 14 guests in East African style ensuite tents and has a floodlit waterhole close to the dining area. Activities are varied and include game drives and walking safaris with professional guides.

Sable Valley Lodge
