Hwange District

The tourism hub in Zimbabwe's far northwest, with both Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park within the district.

Hwange District lies in the northwest of Zimbabwe's Matabeleland North Province, bordered by the Zambezi River to the north and Botswana to the west. The town of Victoria Falls in the district is the country's most popular tourist destination, with falls viewing, white-water rafting, bungee jumping and sunset cruises; Hwange National Park is known for its elephant herds and rich wildlife; and the town of Hwange is a traditional coal-mining town. The falls are at their fullest from February to May, and the dry season from July to October is best for wildlife viewing. The gateway is Victoria Falls International Airport, and a railway also runs to Bulawayo.
