The waterhole at dusk
The elephant herds
Hundreds can come to drink in an evening, jostling at the pan in the last light.
The predators
Lion prides patrol the pans; wild dog and cheetah hunt the open vleis.
Pan-side hides
Some camps have sunken hides at the water for eye-level photography.
Conservation by borehole
The dry season makes Hwange.
A managed wilderness
Hwange has no permanent natural water, so its game depends on a network of boreholes and pumps maintained year-round. The wildlife you see in the dry season is, in part, a conservation achievement.
The park is vast and varied — from the Kalahari sand-veld of the south to the teak forests of the north — and rewards more than a single night.
