Hwange National Park- the finest home for wildlife in Africa

If you want to visit Africa's finest home for wildlife, plan an African safari tour to the Hwange National Park soon.

During an African safari to this park, you will get to see vast herds of elephants, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes and predators in abundance. If you love bird watching, you will be delighted to see some endangered species of birds along with very large and varied birdlife in this park.

The Hwange National Park is located on the main road in between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls and covers an area of 14600 square kilometers.

This African safari destination is a home of 105 mammal species, with nineteen large herbivores and eight large carnivores. Here the largest proportion of the biomass is made up of elephants. This park also consists of those animals which are specially protected in Zimbabwe. In fact, this park is the only protected area where you can find the gemsbok and brown hyena in good numbers. Also the total population of wild dogs found in Hwange is believed to be one of the largest surviving groups found in Africa presently.

The landscape of the park is diverse and includes sand deserts, sparse woodlands, grasslands and granite outcrops. Man-made waterholes were introduced in the park due to lack of water so that the animals could be sustained through the dry season.

Here you will find many African safari options like walking, driving and horseback safaris, which are great ways of exploring the wildlife. Accommodation is also easily available in the game Lodges.

Traveling through the Hwange National Park is something, like seeing what much of the interior of Africa, most probably, have been like about 150 years back.
