Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Hwange National Park?
The best time to go to Hwange National Park is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.

During these months, the weather is cooler and drier, making wildlife viewing easier. The vegetation is sparser, and animals congregate around the limited water sources, such as the park's pumped waterholes. This concentration of wildlife means you're more likely to see large herds of elephants, buffalo, and various predators. This period is particularly good for couples or solo travellers keen on maximising their wildlife sightings.

The shoulder months of May and October offer a good balance. May still has some green from the rainy season, but the bush is starting to thin out, and temperatures are pleasant.
