Cultural Experience
Half Day Trip We offer an exciting half day trip that includes visiting our local School, a small rural village near the National Park, and an informative stop over at the Wild Dog Research Centre. A Brief Description - After an early breakfast at 7am, guests depart on a slow game drive north east towards Hwange Main Camp, which takes around 2 hours. Guests will visit The National Parks Primary School that we as Verney’s Camp have adopted and sponsor along with other operators in Hwange National Park. After the visit, guest travel to Mabale Village where we visit this authentic rural village typical to the area, and meet the local people from the district. Following this visit we then head to the Painted Dog Research Centre to learn more about the endangered African Wild Dog, guests also get a chance to meet the researches and get involved in future sponsorship of this critical study. Then it’s back to Verney’s Camp after a scrumptous picnic lunch at one of the numerous waterholes on the way. Schedule Best days are Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Pre-booking this activity helps us to coordinate with the school and researchers (During school holidays and weekends the school is closed however the trip still operates to the other two venues).
