An electric fence will be separating you as well as the horses from the lions, hyenas an other predators that might be interested in your little camp. Keep in mind this is a Big Five territory, hence the team will take the necessary precautions. This is a very unique outdoor experience that you can only get with <a aria-label=\"Ride Zimbabwe (\u00f6ffnet in neuem Tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ridezimbabwe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ride Zimbabwe<\/a>, otherwise you would have to stay in any of the national park camps.

If you stay with<a aria-label=\" Ride Zimbabwe (\u00f6ffnet in neuem Tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ridezimbabwe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Ride Zimbabwe<\/a> for this memorable experience, the morning and afternoon rides will give you an idea about the stunning plains of the park with its gorgeous wildlife, amongst you might spot elephants, buffaloes, zebras, ostriches, giraffes and even lions from the back of a horse. Hwange has a very large number of wildlife, more than 100 types of animals including one of the world&#8217;s largest elephant population and 400 species of birds can be found in this special park. James will be your guide, be sure he knows every species to be found here, providing you with the adventure you would like to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-13 is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"2370\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/FE5F294E-F8EF-4135-9792-689B4CC31A31-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/FE5F294E-F8EF-4135-9792-689B4CC31A31-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/FE5F294E-F8EF-4135-9792-689B4CC31A31-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/FE5F294E-F8EF-4135-9792-689B4CC31A31-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Zebra spotting at Hwange National Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-15 is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1535\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/5BBC5FDB-4271-459E-8284-9C44AB7D5F32-e1558068255381-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/5BBC5FDB-4271-459E-8284-9C44AB7D5F32-e1558068255381-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/5BBC5FDB-4271-459E-8284-9C44AB7D5F32-e1558068255381-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Afternoon outride in the vast plains of Hwange<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-17 is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"1543\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/FC33AEDE-8549-4E1A-A2AE-3749AB621E03-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/FC33AEDE-8549-4E1A-A2AE-3749AB621E03-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/FC33AEDE-8549-4E1A-A2AE-3749AB621E03-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/FC33AEDE-8549-4E1A-A2AE-3749AB621E03-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Tented camp in the Big Five territory, secured by an electric fence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Hwange National Park \u2013\nVictoria Falls drive about 230km; 3hr<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Day 12 &#8211; 15:<\/strong> Last morning ride in wildlife heaven and a goodbye to your four-legged friends before you head further north to settle down in Victoria Falls for a couple of nights.

Here you can even walk down into the gorge and be on the same level as the mighty Zambezi river. The last day you can enjoy a self drive through the Zambezi National Park, a beautiful piece of land, situated at the riverbanks of the Zambezi, where plenty of animals, especially elephants and buffaloes, come to quench their thirst. Enjoy your last day before leaving this unique country from the Victoria Falls airport offering so much for all outdoor-adventure-lovers. <em>Bybe bye, salut and lisale kuhle <strong>\u221e<\/strong><\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-19 is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"1843\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/485C4EB5-AF39-4A33-8A56-E2DB38390D64-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/485C4EB5-AF39-4A33-8A56-E2DB38390D64-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/485C4EB5-AF39-4A33-8A56-E2DB38390D64-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/485C4EB5-AF39-4A33-8A56-E2DB38390D64-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Victoria Falls during the golden hour<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-21 is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"1836\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/D3D4284C-0C99-49C6-9593-4F18D220F236-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/D3D4284C-0C99-49C6-9593-4F18D220F236-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/D3D4284C-0C99-49C6-9593-4F18D220F236-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/D3D4284C-0C99-49C6-9593-4F18D220F236-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>Big tusker in the Zambezi National Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-23 is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"1842\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/75323FAF-2251-447C-B66A-E068CFC47F18-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1842\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/75323FAF-2251-447C-B66A-E068CFC47F18-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/75323FAF-2251-447C-B66A-E068CFC47F18-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/75323FAF-2251-447C-B66A-E068CFC47F18-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>View from down at the gorge of the mighty Zambezi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions, contact me, read my numerous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wander-world.de\/?p=1949\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (\u00f6ffnet in neuem Tab)\">blog posts<\/a> about my 3 months volunteering time in Zimbabwe or follow my adventures on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/janine.zuerker\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hidden jewels Hereafter you will find a spectacular itinerary through beautiful Zimbabwe including the guaranteed true bush-feeling lifestyle of Hwange National Park, the graceful giraffe encounters in Cawston Wildife Estate and the special white rhino sightings in Matobo National Park \u2013 all from the back of a horse, if you fency.
