Day 3 - Hwange National Park - Victoria Falls

Sinamatella camp sits on top of a cliff  with panoramic views over an open vlei area which makes it an ideal camp for game viewing. The area has both white and black Rhino; we will spend our morning trying to locate these giants of the bush. The area also has good concentrations of other wildlife species.
