Ways on helping Hwange national park
Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage - Bulawayo
"In partnership with Wildlife & Environment Zimbabwe and National Parks & Wildlife Management Authority" Hwange ParkThe land is a place of great contrasts between wet and dry. The best time to visit is in the dry season (September and October). During this time, the animals congregate round the waterhole's (many of them man made and are filled by diesel powered pumps). This and the limited vegetation sustain them until the rains bring the grass and trees to life again which makes the spotting of wildlife more of a challenge. SEASONS Dry Season: July to September is hot during the day but can drop to below freezing on particularly cold winter nights. During these dry months the animals are concentrated around the man-made waterholes, without which they would die. Rainy Season: Big fluffy clouds release the summer rains and the vegetation bursts into life. The area has a relatively low average rainfall of between 570-650 mm per annum. Temperatures can reach over 38°C, while on average they range from 18-28°C. Birdlife is most spectacular at this time HWANGE SPECIALITIES • Thousands of elephants • Over 100 different types of animals and 400 species of birds • Strategically placed viewing hides • Night drives - from the private lodges FACTS The park covers an area of 5,656miles² (14,651km²) with an average altitude 3,300 ft (1,000m) above sea level.It is situated on the main Bulawayo to Victoria Falls road in the northwest corner of Zimbabwe and borders Botswana.
