Hwange.
Hwange is Zimbabwe's largest park and holds one of the biggest elephant populations in Africa.

Much of the park has no natural surface water in the dry season, so game concentrates at pumped waterholes — which makes for extraordinary, predictable dry-season viewing and gives rise to the hides that Hwange is known for.
It is an easy add to Victoria Falls, roughly two hours by road or a short hop by air, which is why the two are so often sold together.
What is here

- Victoria FallsThe Zimbabwean side holds most of the panoramic frontage, and the town is the region's adventure capital.
- Matobo and the Eastern HighlandsMatobo is granite, rock art and rhino tracking on foot; the Eastern Highlands are green mountains that look nothing like the rest of the country.
