Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe’s largest, sits on the border with Botswana. It's 1.4 million hectares (3.4 million acres) of Kalahari sands support a diversity of habitats, which, despite low rainfall, are a profusion of green in summer. Its location – a convergence zone between the Kalahari, moist miombo woodlands, and a broad band of mopane – ensures a captivating species diversity. Home to over 100 mammals and 400 recorded bird species, the park protects numerous species, and has one of Africa's densest concentrations of wildlife, particularly elephant and buffalo. While spectacularly productive in summer, the game viewing in the dry winter months (when the wildlife concentrates around the Park’s numerous pans) is what makes Hwange world renowned.
