At 14,651 sq km, i.e., about the size of Northern Ireland, Hwange National Park is the largest national park in Zimbabwe. Hwange is also home to 30,000 wild African elephants - one of the largest such populations worldwide. We also came across lions, jackels, zebras and antelopes...It was also here that we were surprised by our inability to notice a pride of 4 lions sitting still on the grass patch less than 50m away. We changed our minds about wanting to do a stroll on our own around the waterhole outside our lodge...all the nice antelopes and waterbirds around it... and who knows, well-camouflaged lions and leopards too.
