Guided Safaris in Hwange National Park

Where wilderness comes alive!

Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest wildlife sanctuary, spanning over 14,600 square kilometers of diverse landscapes – from the arid Kalahari sands to mopane woodlands and sweeping savannas. Renowned for its abundant wildlife and biodiversity, Hwange offers unforgettable encounters with nature.

Our semi-permanent Fly Camps are set in two of Hwange’s most contrasting and iconic landscapes – the open plains and pans of Kennedy, and the remote northern wilderness of Robins.
