How to get to Hwange National Park.
Access to the Park may be made by:
Air
An unlicensed airstrip exists at Main Camp for private/ charter aircraft.
Prior permission to land must be obtained at Main Camp. Please note
there are no hangars. Hwange National Park Airport is situated nearby.
Road
It is usually possible from May to October to enter the Park by any
designated access road and to drive to any of the camps. During the
wet season though, advice should be sought as to the best routes. The
visitor reception at each camp will provide advice on the many game-viewing
drives of the 480 kilometres of the Park’s road system. Please
note that the camps are interconnected by a road network, however, the
roads are not always in the best of conditions.
