Sunrise at Camp SinamatellaHwange National park is situated about 3 hours north of Bulawayo. A beautiful area, with most of the exotic animals such as: Cheetah, Loins, Giraffes, Elephants, Hippos, Zebras and even Rhinos. We came there at the end of the rainy season, so the scenery was very green, which made it hard to spot the animals. But, seeing Hwange at this time of year is definately an experience as well.
Zebras and Hippos were two of the species we were lucky enough to observe at the national park. It is a bit rare to see any of the big five during the rainy season, as the vegetation and leaves on the trees are covering up most of the wildlife. Winter time (June-August) is the best time to go on safari if you want to spot some exotic animal life.
The majestic elephant, wise and beautiful. I feel such respect for these animals, not only due to their size, but also when one see their eyes, one can see a lot of wisdom. 
Baboons playing with the Impalas and the Zebras on the other side of the lake at our view point. They were very playful and curious to come and see us and have a play. A bit overwhelming when there were over 200 of them.
Driving around the park, trying to spot one of the "big five", we bumped into this one, just as beautiful and intricate as any other animal we spotted along our way. We got up at 5 am to get to one of the main platforms where there was a little lake where the monkeys, hippos, zebras, impallas, and giraffes drinking water, playing and watching the sunrise before the sun got to strong and they went off to hide in the shadows of the trees. A truly wonderful sight.
On safari out in the open air.
