Holiday Types

If you have dreamt of an Africa with expansive plains and wide horizons, then you can find it in Hwange. As Zimbabwe’s largest national park, Hwange has a sizeable reputation that it wholeheartedly deserves. The sight of hundreds, if not thousands of elephants and buffalos streaming towards you as you sit at a waterhole is indescribable. But beyond the sights and sounds, the feeling of Hwange is what will remain with you: awe and peace from spending time in a true, preserved wilderness.

Pause on your trip for one of the greatest spectacles on Earth. As the water from Victoria Falls hits the narrow depths of the Batoka Gorge beneath, it blasts a cloud of mist skywards, lending the falls their local name ‘mosi-oa-tunya’ (the smoke that thunders). Visit the Falls from all angles, witnessing the tranquil waters of the upper Zambezi, to the world class chain of rapids where adventurers look to try out white water rafting as well as the Falls themselves to experience a natural world wonder.

Finish your experience at the Chobe River Front, an elephant haven and home to the largest density of African elephants in the world. Head out for a game drive and Chobe will leave you feeling tiny as giant elephant bulls stroll up next to your vehicle or snorkel alongside your boat. It will make you feel lost as hundreds of hippos and buffaloes crowd you out on the floodplains. It will put your heart in your throat as prides of lions stalk antelopes by the water’s edge, and it will leave you alone with your thoughts while the classic red sunsets melt over the river to a soundtrack of whistling fish eagles.
