There are a number of shallow pans spread throughout the Park, around which wildlife congregates, making for excellent and reliable game viewing. This Park is one of the best for predators – lion, leopard, wild dog and cheetah are regularly sighted, along with the smaller African wildcat, serval, honey badger, civet and spotted hyena.

Makalolo Plains, situated in a remote and private concession within the vast Hwange National Park, is one of the few camps built within the Park. It is legendary for its wonderful array of wildlife, particularly the massive herds of elephant and buffalo, and summer sees the large antelope herds migrate onto the plains, closely followed by large predators.
