Where this fits in your trip

Day trips across the border are routine here, but they are still international travel: carry your passport, allow time at the post and check your own visa position before the day. Hwange is Zimbabwe’s largest national park, roughly two hours south of Victoria Falls by road, and is best known for very large elephant herds that gather at pumped waterholes through the dry months. Game viewing is done from open vehicles and, at some camps, on foot with an armed guide.
