About this guide
Who's behind Visit Hwange?
An independent visitor guide, not a tour operator. The official numbers, and a note where none exist.
Who writes this
This guide is written by someone who overlanded much of Africa in his own Land Cruiser with a rooftop tent, and for whom the national parks were what stayed. The information about them online was usually missing, wrong or years old: fees from three tariff sheets ago, camps that had closed, roads described by people who had never driven them.
So he started writing it down properly. This guide runs on the park authority's own tariff documents, on climate normals rather than brochure weather, and on what the camps tell us directly, with a date on every claim. Where we do not know something, the page says so.
What this site is
Visit Hwange exists because most of what is written about this park is a decade out of date. We are not an operator and we sell nothing.
How we work
Park fees come from the ZimParks tariff document itself, not from copied operator pages, and every fees page shows when we last checked it. That matters here more than in most places: the rates went up in February 2026 and the majority of websites still quote the old ones.
Where there is no official figure, the page says so. Zimbabwe publishes no price list for guided activities in Hwange, so we tell you to ask your camp instead of repeating numbers we cannot stand behind. Wildlife claims follow published research where it exists.
Found something outdated? Tell us and we will fix it.
The network
Visit Hwange belongs to a small set of independent guides to Africa's less-trodden parks, including Mana Pools and Gonarezhou elsewhere in Zimbabwe and South Luangwa across the border. Same method everywhere: official fees, every camp listed, nothing sold.
