Hwange Green Season Magic Safari
From January to April, Hwange National Park’s south-eastern region and the vast Ngamo Plains come alive with an extraordinary display of wildlife. The arrival of the Green Season transforms the landscape into a lush paradise, providing an abundance of food and water that attracts large herds of plains game, including impala, zebra, and wildebeest—many with newborns in tow. This seasonal bounty lures an array of predators, from powerful lions and agile cheetahs to the elusive African wild dog, creating thrilling wildlife encounters and remarkable photographic opportunities.
The vibrant green grasslands under expansive blue skies, dotted with blooming wildflowers and dramatic cloud formations is an idyllic backdrop for capturing nature at its most dynamic. Beyond the breathtaking scenery and prolific game viewing, the Green Season offers a more intimate safari experience, with fewer visitors ensuring exclusive wildlife sightings and tranquil moments in the heart of the African wilderness.

Tour Experiences
Day 1 – VICTORIA FALS – HWANGE NATIONAL PARK
This morning you will depart your accommodation on the road transfer to Bomani Tented Lodge in southern Hwange National Park. The drive is approximately 3hr on the tarmac road and then 2hr in a 4×4 game viewing vehicle through the Ngamo Forest to the lodge.
Freshen up and take some time to relax in your new surrounds before dinner out under the stars followed by coffee or a night cap around the campfire.
Overnight at Bomani Tented Lodge.
Days 2-3 - HWANGE NATIONAL PARK
You have the next full days to explore the Bomani Concession and Hwange National Park.
After an early wake-up call, join your guide at dawn for a cup of coffee and slice of toast before heading out to explore and interpret what happened in the wilderness last night. You head out early because that is when the big cats are still active – we make no promises, but we can ensure a fascinating time will be spent with your guide. Walks will be conducted by an experienced professional guide, looking at tracks and signs, or perhaps approaching an animal on foot to snatch a memorable photograph. Your guide will keep you updated on the ground with recent sightings and put forward his recommendations.
This afternoon, head back into Hwange in search of game before making a stop for a bush lunch next to a specially built underground game-viewing blind at Stoffie’s Pan aka the “Look-up” blind, named such because its located at the water level so you’ll be looking up at the elephants! Here you can enjoy some time in the blind with snout-level viewing of thirsty elephants just feet way! The blind is furnished with comfortable seating and has running water for flush loos and hand basins.
In the late afternoon, you’ll continue to explore the Ngamo Plains by vehicle before you make your way back to Bomani Tented Lodge to freshen up before dinner.
Day 4 - HWANGE NATIONAL PARK
This morning sees an early start with breakfast in the dining room before heading to nearby Ngunyana Village where guests can join the children on their morning walk to school or join the younger kids for a ride in our safari vehicles! Once at the school, guests meet the Headmaster and are welcomed with traditional songs sung by the students, followed by a short classroom interaction. This activity gives the school children a wonderful opportunity to meet and interact with people from all over the world who have come to see the wildlife amongst which they live.
After the school visit, head to a nearby village for an un-choreographed visit of a local homestead, including a meeting with the headman of the village. Guests will be able to see some of the community initiatives firsthand and gain insight into the day to day life of a rural Zimbabwean including learning about thatching roofs, tilling fields, milling maize and weaving baskets.
During the afternoon, you’ll visit the Imvelo Ngamo Rhino Sanctuary where you’ll meet the resident white rhino, Thuza and Kusasa, as well as the Cobra Rangers guarding them 24/7. Start with a behind-the-scenes look at the Cobras basecamp, where you’ll learn more about their work along with Imvelo’s many other community and conservation programs. Hear a short talk on the origins and ideas behind the formation of the Cobras unit and how they protect the rhino, as well as the future plans for our ground-breaking Community Rhino Conservation Initiative.
Head off on foot or by vehicle with the Cobras to meet Thuza and Kusasa! There will be lots of photo opportunities and quality time to watch and enjoy the rhinos in their natural environment on the Ngamo plains; how close you will be able to get to the rhino will be subject to conditions on the ground.
Each guest at Bomani Lodge pays a rhino conservation and community levy; these funds all go into the rhino sanctuary along with community projects in the nearby villages.
Day 5 - HWANGE NATIONAL PARK – VICTORIA FALLS
Approximate flight time 1 hour
After a final breakfast and morning game drive (time permitting), climb aboard your 1hr hour scenic air charter from the Bomani airstrip to Victoria Falls International Airport for your onward travel.
