The Destination

Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe’s largest wildlife sanctuary, spans 14,600 square kilometers and is home to a dazzling variety of wildlife, including elephants, lions, black rhino, buffalo, leopards, cheetahs and painted dogs, not to mention over 400 bird species. Famous for its thriving elephant population and incredible biodiversity, Hwange promises unforgettable wildlife encounters at every turn.

The Wildlife Experience

While leisurely game drives are part of a Great Guide Safaris experience, our true focus lies in guided bush walks. On foot, the wilderness comes alive – every rustle, track, and scent tells a story. With Kaz as your guide, each step reveals fascinating insights. Moving at a slower pace, you’ll uncover details that safari drives might miss.

Kaz Dube is the best guide my wife and I have experienced during several safaris in Africa! His in-depth knowledge of both flora and fauna is exceptional! My wife and I plan to use his services again, we wouldn’t choose anyone else!”
