Hwange National Park

This carefully curated itinerary offers an unforgettable safari adventure through one of Zimbabwe’s most spectacular wilderness areas.

Begin your journey with a unique ride aboard the Elephant Express, a one-of-a-kind railcar, taking you to the remote Bomani Tented Lodge in the Hwange National Park. Spend three nights here, exploring the park on game drives and guided walks, where you’ll encounter diverse wildlife, including elephants, lions, and buffalo. Enjoy panoramic views of the vast savannah from your luxury tented suite.

Next, head to Nehimba Lodge for two nights in the heart of the park’s northern region. Nestled in a private concession, this area is known for its frequent elephant visitors and thrilling night drives, offering a more intimate safari experience.

From there, journey to the remote Jozibanini Camp for two nights of true wilderness immersion. Located in the far south of Hwange, Jozibanini provides a rare opportunity to explore this untouched landscape with a focus on walking safaris and tracking wildlife in this remote and rugged terrain.

This itinerary provides a perfect balance of adventure, wildlife encounters, and unforgettable scenery.
