Hwange Explorer Safari
Hwange
Zimbabwe
Go on a horse riding safari through Hwange National Park, the largest National Park in Zimbabwe. It is home to 400 different species of bird and 107 types of mammals.
The region that we ride in is underlain by deep Kalahari sands, the perfect terrain for our barefoot horses. The landscape is predominantly flat with no mountains or kopjes in sight, making for some excellent riding conditions and unimpeded views of the vast amount of wildlife that call this area home.
Zambezi Teak and Camelthorn tree woodlands surround a vast number of open waterhole systems, or pans as they are more commonly known. Marvel in the amazing intricate shapes of these grand ancient trees; trees that have shaded and fed thousands upon thousands of animals over the centuries and will also offer you some welcome respite from the African sun when we rest beneath their spreading boughs to enjoy a delicious packed lunch or snack with our noble steeds grazing nearby. Throughout these pan fringe areas numerous mammals roam amongst the wonderful woodlands, in particular elephants and giraffe, and if that isn’t exciting enough there may be the opportunity to sail over a natural jump or two!
Other types of habitats that we ride through and explore include Silver Terminalia, Coppiced Teak, Kalahari Apple Leaf, Kalahari Sand Acacia and the more open grasslands near the “pans.”

Sample Itinerary - subject to changes
This is representative of what the itinerary will be like. Many factors will influence the day to day order of these rides. Weather conditions (cold, heat, rain, cloud, etc.), wildlife activity and movements, rider abilities and interests, climatic conditions (i.e. good wet season or very dry conditions), logistics, and many other factors will determine how the riding and other activities will be conducted. The guide will always ensure to maximise the wildlife experience.
Chances of rain are highest in December and January therefore riding is according to the weather conditions. Wildlife sightings will be minimal during this period as well.
Being bush camps it is likely to encounter animals such as elephants, buffalo, lion, hyena, baboon, snakes, spiders, scorpions, mosquitoes, flies, and many other types of insects in these natural bush locations. No guest should be surprised that these creatures exist as part of the daily experience of being in the Zimbabwean wilds.
Due to the very hot days during November, guests will be expected to wake up as early as 4:30 am so as to start riding before it becomes too hot.
Day 1: Arrival
Arrival at Victoria Falls Airport, meet and greet by a road transfer company, followed by a two-hour drive to Iganyana Private Tented Camp.
Afternoon high tea, briefing, intro to the horses, and then onto the horses for a short ride.
Back to camp, sundowners, showers, dinner, and peaceful sleep under canvas.
Meals included: Afternoon high tea & Dinner
Overnight at Iganyana Private Tented Camp
Day 2: Dete Vlei
Rise and shine with early morning tea and coffee and a light breakfast. Today we will explore the Dete Vlei and surroundings on horseback. More time to adapt to our riding style in the bush, the tack and horses. Any changes required will be done on this day.
We may ride for the whole day or we may ride in the morning for 3 to 4 hours and again in the afternoon for a shorter ride.
This evening we return to Iganyana Wild for our second night.
Meals included: Breajfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight at Iganyana Private Tented Camp
Day 3: Hwange National Park
Guests early morning wake up, tea and coffee, breakfast and game drive to Main Camp in Hwange National Park. This is only a short drive of half an hour to perhaps an hour depending on sightings of wildlife. Check-in and
payments at the Tourism office, then mount up and ride into the park, or game drive deeper into the park.
Overnight with sundowners, hot showers, and dining under the stars.
Meals included: Breajfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight at Camp Baikiaea
Day 4: Hwange National Park
Another early morning start – of which time does vary according to the seasons. Onto the horses and out to explore the area again. There are no set routes and the ride is conducted according to what sounds were heard during the night, animal tracks, weather conditions, and many other factors.
The day may be a half-day or a full day out with a picnic lunch near a waterhole for wildlife viewing. If lunch is at camp, then it is also an opportunity in the afternoon to do a safari walk or drive.
There are a few other waterholes that are worth visiting if guests have good cameras and lenses or are interested in birding. Also, the guide may decide that an early morning walk or drive is going to be better and may then switch the order
of the day to a non-riding activity in the morning and a ride in the afternoon. This also depends on the need for horses to rest before a long day tomorrow.
Whatever happens, there will be cold drinks around the campfire and a hearty dinner in camp.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight at Camp Baikiaea
Day 5: Ride to Kennedy Camp
Today we ride for a full day out to Kennedy Camp. This is a ride of approximately 30-40 or so km. It will be through teak and acacia woodlands, passing waterholes which may or may not have water in, with a picnic lunch on route.
Arrive late afternoon to Kennedy Camp, settle in with sundowners, and welcome hot showers followed by yet again a delicious dinner.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight at Kennedy Camp
Day 6: Kennedy Vlei
This day will be spent in the Kennedy 2 area of the Park in some very beautiful Acacia groves. The camp is set along the Kennedy Vlei which is a renowned area for wildlife viewing.
Options here are riding, walking, or a safari drive in the morning. Much will again be dependent on possible wildlife sightings and activity and time of year as to what riding we will do.
A good option is to take a drive to the Ngweshla area not far from Vachellia as it is generally a very productive wildlife area.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight at Kennedy Camp
Day 7: Last Ride
Final early morning wake up to enjoy the dawn in the African bush around the fire.
After a light breakfast, onto the horses for a 15 to 25km ride (dependent on the time of year and early morning wildlife activity) to a point where the horse truck will meet us.
There we will end the ride, load the horses, and have a safari drive out of the Park back to Iganyana for the night.
Sundowners will be a special affair reminiscing upon the past few days of being in the real African bush on fine steads enjoying the wildlife and big spaces.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight at Iganyana Private Tented Camp
Day 8: Departure
Depending on departure times, the last morning may include a very short walk out to stretch the legs before a sumptuous breakfast and departure on the transfer vehicle back to Victoria Falls Airport (or wherever the next destination is.)
Meals included: Breakfast

Seasons
There are 3 mains seasons in Zimbabwe:
- the Hot and Dry season (September to mid-November)
- the Hot and Wet season (Mid-November through April)
- the Cold and Dry season (May through to end August)
During the Hot and Dry season, temperatures often can go well into the 40’s C / 104+F.
Rain can occur at any time but this is unusual. Often there are the odd early wet season thunderstorms with strong winds, lightning, hail and some rain. These are generally very infrequent precursors to the main rains in December.
During the Hot and Wet season weather is characterized by mostly heavy afternoon showers with lightning. Can at times be raining in the mornings and at times during the night. December through March are when the main rains occur.
This is the main time for BUGS, SPIDERS, SCORPIONS and at times, snakes. These DO occur in Africa!! Even in the dry season there are often bugs and spiders. There is very little to fear from them. Mosquitoes are the main concern in some areas due to malaria, but malaria is not prevalent everywhere.
During the Cold and Dry season Hwange National Park often goes well below Zero Celsius / 32F. Early morning temperatures in May, June, July and early August can get to 0°C. Midday temperatures at those times are very comfortable and may reach high 20’s by end of August.
The ideal time to visit is from April through to end of November.
Due to wet season there are no safaris in February. March is possible but wet for riding.
Please bring sufficient batteries and mobile charging equipment for your cameras for the 5 day mobile component as there will be no access to mains electricity during this time.
There is 220V AC electricity provided by solar and generator at Iganyana but not on the mobile section. Charging of gadgets and cameras will be through a 12V DC vehicle inverter or accessory plug. Guests need to confirm with us about what charging plugs they need to bring. Iganyana has both 16Amp round pin South African plug sockets, and multi-socket adaptors for UK, European and USA plugs. There are also standard USB ports in the main living area of Iganyana.
It is very wise to bring a couple of good interesting paper novels to read or a Kindle for those moments of peace and quiet time or if there is rain or one just wants to take some time out in the camp.
A small torch such as a Petzel/LedLenser style head torch is an absolute must for the bush camping and indeed any accommodation in Zimbabwe.
Note that the safaris are done in remote bush locations and access to health and medical facilities can be some hours away. All medicines required by guests MUST be brought that will cover the entire stay.
This is also why health insurance and emergency medical evacuation insurance cover is a pre-travel requirement.
Below is a list of recommended items (not all items are needed and some items are seasonal requirements).
- TORCH/HEADLIGHT AND FRESH BATTERIES….always useful!
- BINOCULARS – Lightweight but strong and ideally waterproof.
- CAMERA AND BATTERIES – spare SD cards, charging cables etc.
- SARONG or SHORTS – for relaxing in camp or shorts for walking.
- RIDING BOOTS with a suitable sole for walking.
- RIDING HELMET
- SANDALS/SNEAKERS – good for in camp
- WALKING boots/track shoes
- SUN HAT OR CAP – Broad brim hat ideal, a must for walking. NOT white!
- SUNBLOCK
- MOSQUITO / BUG REPELLENT
- SWIM SUIT / SWIM COSTUME / BATHERS – for camps with pools
- BOOKS/MAGAZINES/KINDLE….for quiet time in camp or on mobile safaris. Please NOTE that Wi-Fi is NOT always available in some bush locations and camps.
- PERSONAL TOILETRIES AND MEDICINES
- SMALL BACKPACK OR SUITABLE BAG for carrying cameras, personal items etc. whilst on a gamedrive vehicle, walk or light aircraft.
- SUNGLASSES WITH STRING ATTACHED
- FROM MAY TO LATE AUGUST WARM CLOTHES AND BEANIE/HEAD SCARFF FOR EVENINGS AND EARLY MORNINGS – ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD JACKET/FLEECE ON HAND FOR ANYTIME OF YEAR IN AFRICA. FOR BUSH ACTIVITIES: BUSH COLOURED CLOTHES, NOT BRIGHT COLOURED NOR WHITES– browns, beige, bush greens, darker greys, darker reds and purples are ok for walking.
- LAUNDRY – can be done free of charge in most camps/lodges. Some camps do charge a small fee.
- IN THE INTEREST OF BEING ECO-FRIENDLY AND COVID-19 COMPLIANT PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN WATER BOTTLES OR HYDRATION PACKS AS WE AVOID USING PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES. We have pouches on the horses that hold bottles. 750ml is ideal.
- PHONES AND GADGETS – electricity is not available everywhere so advisable to bring battery backup or solar chargers. All power here is 220 – 240 Volts with most places using square 3 pin UK 13Amp plugs, and around Bulawayo/Hwange it is mostly 3 pin South African type round 16Amp plugs. Universal adaptors are useful. USB Car chargers using the 12 volt ports are very useful.
- USD CASH (only currency that can be used in Zimbabwe) for National Parks Fees; safari activity add-ons; for incidentals; cash bars/restaurants; and since some card payments attract up to 15% extra charges and local ATM’s rarely have cash. (it is advisable to bring smaller denominations as change is rarely available)
- Cash for gratuities is advisable.
- Identification documents where relevant.

Accommodations
This is a progressive ride so nights are spent in different locations.
Description
Hwange National Park is a protected area and therefore the bush camps where we stay here have no electricity, no plumbing, and no permanent structures.
There are no fences or barriers at most of the camps (Hwange National Park is home to a healthy lion population so security is provided by a working electric fence surrounding the encampment at night) as these are wildlife zones so any wildlife can be moving through. A safety briefing will be done by the Professional Guide at the camps.
There is limited WiFi at Iganyana and none at all in the National Park, nor any mobile-phone service in the Park.
We are limited with transport options and thus must reduce the amount of kit we carry. Therefore please note that guests will use shared long drop toilets and hot bucket showers.

The large tented rooms are elegantly furnished with lovingly restored antiques and locally crafted wooden furniture. All rooms accommodate king or twin bed configuration. Each tent features en-suite bathroom with shower and toilet, separate dressing area, a mini-lounge and a tea-coffee station. Glass sliding doors lead from the bedroom onto a private veranda. Air-conditioning and electricity ensure your room is always bright, cool and comfortable.

Dietary Restrictions
Vegetarians, vegans, gluten/lactose intolerant, celiac disease, etc. can be catered for IF all information about the diets and needs are received in time. Please, note that not all highly specific foods for these very specific diets are available in Zimbabwe so it is VERY important to be notified very well in advance (i.e. at least a couple of months) about any dietary requirements of food allergies.
It is easy to prepare meals without certain foods i.e. red meat, chicken, tomatoes, onions, peanuts, shellfish, etc., but not always easy to supplement with highly specific items found in many specialist food stores in Developed countries.
This trip
includes some wine with dinner
and
can accommodate special dietary requests.
