Best time to travel
Zimbabwe is a year-round destination, as it boasts a good climate throughout the year. The summer months (Mid November to March) tends to be quite hot with cool nights and the highest rainfall of the year. The best time to come would be the cooler months (April to early November) as these months have warm days, clear skies but cooler nights, thus warm clothing is required. The cooler months in Hwange are known to provide the best game viewing, as the bush is thinner and the animals all congregate at the waterholes to drink.

Elephants Eye, Hwange is situated 13 km from the entrance to Hwange National Park on a private concession of 6000 acre. Hwange National Park is the largest park in Zimbabwe, covering an area of approximately 14 650 square kilometres and within close proximity to Victoria Falls.
