Hwange National Park - Named after a local Nhanzwa chief, Hwange National Park is the largest Park in Zimbabwe occupying roughly 14 650 square kilometers. It is located in the northwest corner of the country about one hour south of the Mighty Victoria Falls.
It became the royal hunting grounds to the Ndebele warrior-king Mzilikazi in the early 19th Century and was set aside as a National Park in 1929. Hwange boasts a tremendous selection of wildlife with over 100 species of mammals and nearly 400 bird species recorded. The elephants of Hwange are world famous and the Park’s elephant population is one of the largest in the world. The Park has three distinctive Camps and administrative offices at Robins, Sinamatella and the largest one at Main Camp.

Situated near the periphery of the Kalahari desert, the park is a locale of scanty water resources and predominantly xerophytic flora. The forests of Kalahari are primarily comprised of Zambezi Teak, Sand Camwood (Baphia), and Kalahari bauhinia. Transitional wetlands in this region metamorphose into grasslands.

The park’s north and north-western parts are characterized by mopane forests.
While there have been debates suggesting that the elephant population leads to alteration in the vegetation structure, recent findings argue otherwise, even in the context of significant growth in the elephant numbers towards the end of the 1980s. The park is home to over 100 mammal species and 400 bird species, encompassing 19 large herbivores and eight large carnivores. The park conserves all of Zimbabwe’s specially protected animals, and it is the only conservation region where gemsbok and brown hyenas are found in substantial numbers. The Main Camp Wild Area and Linkwasha Concession Area are largely inhabited by grazing herbivores, while the Robins woodlands are frequented by mixed feeders.
