10/2006 Zimbabwe: Hwange National Park
The country’s largest national park, equal to the size of Belgium, is approximately 65 miles from Victoria Falls. Home to 107 mammals and over 400 bird species, it boasts the Big Five – lions, black and white rhinos, leopards, buffalo and elephants – along with cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, impala, kudu, hippos, crocodiles and the elusive wild dog. A variety of accommodation is available from basic self-catering chalets to exclusive all-inclusive safari lodges. It is possible to drive around in your own car, but a better bet for spotting animals is a game drive with professional guides who know the terrain and wildlife habits.
