Hwange is Zimbabwe’s largest national park, roughly 14,600 square kilometres of teak woodland and pans, and it sits about two hours by road from Victoria Falls. That makes a full day trip possible: leave early, spend the day on game drives around the waterholes, and come back the same evening.
Hwange’s waterholes are pumped through the dry season, so game concentrates on them in a way that is genuinely unusual. In September and October a single pan can hold several hundred elephant through an afternoon.
The day safari costs from US$280 per person. If you would rather sleep in the park than drive back the same evening, the Hwange nights on our multi-day safaris are a better fit.
Hwange day safari FAQs
How far is Hwange National Park from Victoria Falls?
About two hours by road, which is why a full day trip works. You leave Victoria Falls early and return the same evening.
How much does a Hwange day safari cost?
From US$280 per person for the full day, including the drive each way and the day in the park. Park fees and the vehicle used can change the final quote, so we confirm it against your dates.
Is it better to visit Hwange on a day trip or to stay overnight?
A day trip suits travellers who are based at the falls and want one big game day. If wildlife is the main reason for your trip, nights inside the park give you the early morning and late afternoon drives, which are the best game viewing hours. Our multi-day safaris include Hwange nights.
