So, the ultimate question: Kruger or Hwange? This is a tough one, and ultimately comes down to a person’s taste, travel style, budget as well past travel experiences.
 
Head to Kruger if….

1. You’re intent on seeing the Big 5
2. You enjoy creature comforts, such as 24-hour electricity, AC and Wifi
3. You would like to experience South Africa’s city life
4. You like the idea of a fenced-in lodge
5. You enjoy luxury!

 
 
 
Head to Hwange if...

1. You’d like to experience local culture and give back to the community. Imvelo lodges employ locals and train guides from the surrounding communities, and are heavily involved in community and educational development programs
2. You’re more interested in experience over comfort
3. You’re OK with long travel days and travel times
4. You like the idea of very few people
5. You prefer larger herds of wildlife over individual sightings
