Rovos Rail and Hwange National Park

During our rail journey, we had a few stops on the way, our most memorable would have to be visiting the Hwange National Park where we did a three hour safari and had drinks at sunset.
This park is famous for the elephants that roam and live in this park.
They have a never ending supply of water due to it being solar powered and water is pumped from the reservoir beneath the ground.
