We are proud to support the Community Rhino Conservation Initiative to help benefit the communities and wildlife of Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe. The CRCI has re-introduced rhino to this part of Zimbabwe in a highly secure and sustainable way to eventually accommodate a viable population of free roaming black and white rhino.

Your Guides

---

The best people to immerse you in a destination are the ones who live there, which is why we feature local Adventure Guides on our trips. Here are a few that you might meet on this adventure.

Harris M.

Harris has been guiding in Zimbabwe and Mozambique since 1998 and is now based in Hwange National Park. Here, he enjoys observing one of the largest populations of elephants in Africa. On walking safaris, he shares his experience with the great variety of animals, birds, and trees found in the park. His goal is to immerse you in both wildlife and the warmth and friendliness of the Zimbabwean people.

Vusa N.

Vusa began guiding in Hwange National Park in 2012. He grew up in an adjacent village where wildlife was seen as a threat to cattle. He set out to become the first professional guide from his area, introducing a different perspective and option for village livelihood. He has a special interest in birds and is proud to show safari-goers his home village to illustrate a personal and successful conservation story.

Dean A.

A native Zimbabwean, Dean became a licensed guide in 1996. He fell in love with the Jozibanini, in the remote southwest corner of Hwange National Park—well off the beaten tourist track—when he worked there during a previous career in his twenties. After stints in more industrial fields, he followed his heart back to guiding and Hwange, where he delights in revealing the best the park has to offer.

Forming a natural border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, this cascading sheet of water is known as \"The Smoke That Thunders.\" Your afternoon is free to relax or further explore the astounding falls. You may opt to see the falls from a different perspective on a scenic helicopter ride (at extra cost). Dinner is at your leisure at the lodge or one of the eateries in town.

Start with a behind-the-scenes experience at the Cobras Community Wildlife Protection Unit basecamp. Here you\'ll learn from them about their anti-poaching efforts to protect rhinos and work with local communities to alleviate human-wildlife tensions. You will hear about the ground-breaking Community Rhino Conservation Initiative which pairs the re-introduction of rhinos with socio-economic benefits for local communities, fostering sustainable growth. Then you\'ll join the Cobras on foot or by vehicle to meet some of the white rhinos who now call Hwange home! There will be lots of photo opportunities and quality time to watch and enjoy the rhinos in their natural environment on the Ngamo plains; how close you will be able to get to the rhino will be subject to conditions on the ground. This afternoon, enjoy a game drive through the bush with your expert guide, spotting some of the many species who inhabit the area.

Flying low over the savannah, delight in getting a bird\'s eye view of this vast and wild expanse of untamed land and try to spot wildlife from the air. Arriving at your five-tent camp, enjoy lunch and settle into the wild. Decide with the camp guide how you would like to explore—by vehicle, on foot, or simply watching wildlife gather to drink at a nearby waterhole from the cool interior of a sunken hide. Whichever you choose you are likely to see Hwange\'s prolific elephants along with other interesting sightings. Spend the afternoon exploring your surroundings with an expert guide. This evening savor a dinner under the stars before settling in your tent and drifting off to sleep to the sounds of the bush.

Get ready for a safari on two wheels and two feet. After breakfast, grab a mountain bike to cycle along paths forged by elephants, known as “ecological engineers,” because they clear the way for flora and fauna to flourish. Combine this with a bush walk for a slower pace and closer look at wildlife connections such as dung beetles and acacia trees. If you want to skip biking, just head out for a bush walk or a game drive instead—the choice is yours! If you chose to bike, fuel up for the return ride with a shaded picnic lunch. This afternoon, head out game viewing by vehicle and take advantage of amazing photo opportunities of the wildlife at Jozibanini\'s waterhole hide. Don\'t miss the opportunity to sleep outdoors in your “star bed” under southern hemisphere skies.

Land at the Shumba Airstrip, then board the camp\'s specially modified safari vehicles, designed for ideal wildlife viewing and photography access, for a drive to your comfortable nine-tent camp. Nehimba is well-known for having the best waterhole in Hwange as the elephants that frequent it will testify! The pool is adjacent to camp so wildlife viewing frequently happens right from the deck. Located on the edge of mopane woodlands with the Kalahari sandveld to the west, the area is known for its elephant-hunting lions, as well as an array of species such as leopard, buffalo, and hyena. Activities include classic daytime game drives, exciting night drives to spot nocturnal wildlife, and walking safaris, all accompanied by professional guides who share their expertise along the way.

Then set out for a morning game drive exploring the dams (lakes) of Northern Hwange, which attract wildlife, particularly in the dry season. Your expert guide will be on the lookout for interesting sightings and tell you about the ecosystems you are passing through. Mandavu Dam is situated in a scenic hilly spot and is a wonderful location for both bird watching and game viewing, including many crocodiles and large pods of hippo, and it\'s here that you\'ll pause for a memorable picnic lunch. In the late afternoon head back towards the lodge. Stop for sundowners in a picturesque location along the way, then continue your safari as dusk turns to night. Filtered spotlights are used to pick out the various nocturnal species that can be found such as hyena, porcupines, civets, genet cats, and if you\'re lucky, perhaps even a leopard on hunt! Arrive back at the lodge for dinner and a good night\'s rest as the shuffle of elephants lulls you to sleep.
