Hwange's elephants: a conservation success worth celebrating

By Ayana Africa

How Zimbabwe's largest national park became one of Africa's great elephant strongholds.

Hwange National Park is home to one of the largest elephant populations on the continent — a genuine conservation success story.

Waterholes, many of them pumped, draw huge herds in the dry season, creating some of the most reliable elephant viewing in Africa. Community and anti-poaching partnerships continue to protect them.

Travelling here supports that work directly. We favour lodges and operators who reinvest in conservation and community, so your journey helps keep Hwange wild.
