Our focus here is on big game whilst on game drives, river cruises, walking

nights after which we use two of the Wilderness Safaris camps in the heart
of Hwange. These are remote and private concessionary areas where few
other visitors are likely to be seen.
- Wildlife is abundant in these areas. Predators and large herds of
big game especially elephant and buffalo will be encountered. Plains
game is outstanding in Hwange and there are good chances of coming across
wild dog and rare white rhino on this safari.

- This wild mix of habitats is home to a great diversity of antelope and
predators. This is also a haven to around 490 bird species.

into 3 exclusive concessions within the southern part of the National Park.
- Our objective on this safari is to take best advantage of the height of
the dry season. Game conditions tend to be very concentrated just
before the rains break - big game will be in abundance, predators very
active and the migrant birds will be gathering for the breeding season.

full moon will be a feature - days will be very busy.
