Guided Game Drives
Early morning game drives set out at the crack of dawn with our licensed guides, both into the Hwange National Park and on our own 6000-acre concession. Mornings are usually productive, with plenty of hyena and wild dog as well as the other plains game. Afternoon and evening drives in the same areas leave at 3 pm and return with spotting torch by night. Animals and birds seen in the afternoons are prolific with sometimes close encounters with the majestic Presidential Elephant Herd.
Guided Game Walks
Walking Safaris include approaching big herds and cats, an exciting chance to get up close and personal with the small and large creatures of the park.
