Introducing Hwange National Park
This National Park (admission US$15 per day; 6am-6pm) is particularly popular because it’s one of the easiest parks to reach and wildlife viewing is good, especially during the dry season (September and October), when animals congregate near waterholes. It has one of the largest herds of elephants in the world. A good viewing spot is at Nyamandhlovu Pan, 10km from Main Camp. To really immerse yourself in the park’s wild environment, try a walking safari in the more remote parts of the park. Two-hour walking safaris (US$30 per person) with armed guards to Sedina Pan can be organized at Hwange Main Camp, and to Mandavu Dam from Sinamatella Camp.

The main National Parks camps are Main Camp, Sinamatella and Robins Camp (camp sites per person US$10, 2-/4-bed lodges US$2/4, 2-/4-bed cottages US$1.50/3, tw chalets US$1-2). Each camp has a small shop, bar and restaurant.
Hide Safari Camp (04-498835; www.thehide.com; The Triton Centre, 176 Enterprise Rd, Chisipite, Harare) is one of the best safari camps in the country. Named after the man-made hiding points constructed for viewing elephants close-up, the Hide has good guides, accommodation and food. Bookings can be made via the Triton Centre in Harare.
