Elephants and lions at Hwange, with two nights at Somalisa Camp, three days from Victoria Falls.
Hwange is Zimbabwe’s largest national park, with some of the biggest elephant herds in Africa, and in the dry season they gather by the hundred at the waterholes. Lions, giraffe, sable antelope and wild dog share the park, and it is only three hours from Victoria Falls.
Two nights at Somalisa Camp, with game drives, walks and waterhole watching, make an easy, rewarding short safari.
