Overview

Located on the border with Botswana, Hwange is Zimbabwe’s largest national park, covering an area of around 14,600 square kilometres. Due to its vast size, the scenery, game and vegetation differ greatly from one part to the next, ranging from semi-desert scrubland in the south on the edge of the Kalahari, to grasslands, granite hills and beautiful teak, acacia and mopane woodlands in the north.
