The driving time from Victoria Falls to Hwange Main Camp Gate is between 2 1/2 to 3 hours in duration, depending on factors such as traffic, road blocks and livestock or wild animals upon the roads. As safety is always our first priority, we are careful to remain within the speed limit, which, for public service vehicles is 80 kms per hour.
Due to National Parks regulations, it is not possible to drive within the Hwange National Park after 18h00. In other words, should you be travelling to a camp that is located approximately 2 hours from the main gate, it is necessary to enter the Park gate at a latest time of 16h00 and to leave Victoria Falls at least 3 hours prior to that.
As flight times often conflict with this we encourage all guests to plan accordingly and try to spend one night in Victoria Falls before travelling to Hwange to ensure smooth travel, and account for any flight delays or time spent being processed by immigration on arrival.
** Any transfers outside of the scheduled times would need to be conducted as private and charged accordingly
