Best Combinations with Hwange NP
A Hwange safari is usually part of a bigger itinerary featuring Zimbabwe’s other top destinations such as Victoria Falls and Mana Pools National Park. It is also a destination that lies close to another super-heavyweight in the safari business: Botswana. Ask us about combining Hwange with Botswana’s Chobe River and Okavango Delta. And if you fancy heading down south to check out everyone’s favourite city – Cape Town – or feel like an Indian Ocean getaway, then Hwange’s proximity to Victoria Falls International Airport makes it all possible.
The famous World Wonder lies 100 kilometres (60 miles) from Hwange National Park, making for an easy road transfer. You can choose which side of the Zambezi you want to stay: it’s easier of course to stay on the Zimbabwean side but there are many magical lodges on the Zambian side of the river too.
The river forms the northern border of the Chobe National Park and is home to the greatest concentrations of elephants in Africa. The late dry season delivers maximum reward but the area is rich in animals and birds all year round. A Chobe River cruise is highly recommended for sightings of hippos and crocodiles.
Whether you’re thinking about the Cape’s beaches, Durban’s game reserves or the Kruger’s Big 5, South Africa is a one-stop flight from Victoria Falls Airport, lying a 3-hour drive from Hwange. Fly straight to Cape Town, Johannesburg or Durban and start the fun. Ask us about the right connections.
