About the Location
Antelope Park is 3500 acres of Private Game Reserve next to the town of Gweru in the the Midlands Province of Zimbabwe. Perfectly situated roughly half way between the two major cities, Harare and Bulawayo, it is easily accessible.
The park itself nestles in a striking setting – Savannah grasslands, Woodland and Riverine areas, big sky horizons – the natural beauty of Zimbabwe. The camp is situated on a beautiful watercourse area which draws the game and gorgeous waterbirds up close as they frolic and refresh themselves.
You will be sharing the location with a gorgeous variety of antelope, zebra, giraffe, elephant, rhino, lions in their own area and hundreds of marvellous African birds.
