GPS CO-ORDINATES: Hideaways Bumbusi Wilderness Camp, Hwange – 18°51’59.55″S 26°17’86.12″E

For the best safari experience, visit between July and October when the weather is cooler and drier. During this time, you’ll see plenty of wildlife around waterholes, and the bush isn’t as thick, making animal sightings easier. From July to September days are warm, around the mid-20s Celsius, but nights can get quite chilly, dropping below 10 degrees Celsius. If you’re into birdwatching, plan your stay between November and April. These months bring in lots of migratory bird species but be prepared for temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius and bring your sunscreen!
