Hwange and Mana Pools
Untouched wilderness
Zimbabwe is one of Africa's best safari destinations. With travel confidence restored, it remains untouched, unspoilt and has some of the most charming and hosts on the continent. It is also home to two of Africa's greatest national parks, Hwange and Mana Pools.
Combining a trip to Victoria Falls with time in Hwange and Mana Polls is the ultimate itinerary, and if time allows, Zambezi National Park and Lake Kariba are worthy additions too.
Hwange National Park
Hwange National Park, located in northwest Zimbabwe, spans over 14,600 square kilometres of breathtaking wilderness. Renowned for its diverse ecosystems, the park is a haven for wildlife, including its famous large elephant population, as well as lions, giraffes, zebras, and countless bird species. Its varied landscapes, ranging from grasslands to woodlands and savannas, create a stunning backdrop for game drives, guided walks, and birdwatching. Cultural treasures such as ancient rock art sites further enrich the experience, offering a glimpse into the region’s historical significance.
Beyond its natural and cultural allure, Hwange is a leader in conservation. Anti-poaching efforts, community engagement, and partnerships with conservation organisations safeguard the park’s wildlife and ecosystems for future generations. Easily accessible by road or via Hwange National Park Airport, this iconic destination invites travellers to explore its unique blend of biodiversity and heritage, leaving them with unforgettable memories of Zimbabwe’s untamed beauty.
Mana Pools
Mana Pools National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lies in the Middle Zambezi Valley, covering 2,196 square kilometres of extraordinary wilderness. Shaped by centuries of the Zambezi River’s eastward flow, the park is dotted with old river channels, seasonal ponds, and lush pools that stretch back from the river’s edge. Towering mahogany and acacia trees provide a canopy of shade over the fertile terraces, creating an oasis of life. This stunning landscape becomes a stage for one of Africa’s greatest wildlife spectacles, as animals flock to the abundant water and verdant grazing along the riverbanks during the dry season.
Renowned for its breathtaking beauty and thriving biodiversity, Mana Pools offers visitors the chance to witness elephants, lions, hippos, and a myriad of other species in their natural habitat. The park’s pristine environment and unique setting make it a prime destination for canoe safaris, game drives, and guided walks. With its combination of dramatic scenery and phenomenal wildlife encounters, Mana Pools is a true gem of Zimbabwe’s wilderness.
