Hwange National Park

Last week we had a bit of vacation time where we did as many tourist things as we could. We left on Tuesday from Harare and our first stop was Hwange National Park several hours away. We stayed there one night and went on a game drive through the park the next morning. I was amazed at how many different animals we did see with the park being so big and us not having that much time. We saw a lot of kudu, some giraffes, springbok, impala, zebra, and wildebeest. We saw one huge kudu that looked like it was dying and there was a hyena and a jackal close by just circling it. Later we saw a group of elephant cows and calves on one side of the road and we sat there for a minute and realized we were in the middle of a big group of them because there were even more on the other side of us. We were blocking them from crossing so we backed up and the group passed right in front of the car like no big deal. It was unreal to see elephants that close.
