However, what makes these parks truly special is the wildlife. Gonarezhou National Park is one of the largest parks in Zimbabwe, second only to Hwange. It shares unfenced borders with South Africa’s Kruger and the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique, together making up one of the largest conservation areas in the world. Known as ‘the land of elephants’ these incredible animals aren’t the only giants in the park and can be seen tracking below the magnificent Chilojo Cliffs that adorn it. Other wildlife include the Big 5 and wild dogs.

The next exceptional reserve in the region is the extremely exclusive Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve. Under the protection of the Malilangwe Trust, the area has a globally significant population of both black and white rhinos. The reserve also offers the chance to witness fantastic populations of cheetahs, elephants, leopards, wild dogs, lions and plains game such as mighty buffalo herds.

Savé Valley Conservancy is one of the largest private game reserves in Africa, stretching roughly 3040 km² with a natural eastern border formed by the Savé River. It is a Big 5 reserve with great rhino and wild dog populations, as well as more than 300 bird species. Each of these reserves works together and independently in order to uplift local communities and conserve their wildlife.

The Dry Season

April to September
This is the dry season and is a great time to go on safari as animals congregate around water sources and the bush becomes thinner, making them easier to spot.

The Green Season

October to March
Temperatures tend to climb in October and the rainy season usually begins in November, lasting until March. The later part of the rainy season is a fantastic time to witness baby animals and go birdwatching as species migrate down from cooler climates.
