Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest national park and one of the finest elephant conservation areas in Africa, with up to 30,000 elephants. This is vast wilderness area of Kalahari sands, saltpans, acacia scrub, and grassy plains. The terrain supports over 100 species of mammals and over 400 species of birds, providing an exceptional game viewing experience. Hwange National Park is a continuation of the Chobe/Linyanti ecosystem in Botswana with large elephant population and fairly consistent sightings of the "Big Five".

It became the royal hunting grounds to the Ndebele warrior-king Mzilikazi in the early 19 th Century and was set aside as a National Park in 1929. The Park has three distinctive Camps and administrative offices at Robins, Sinamatella and the largest one at Main Camp.
