Great afternoon getting close to and learning about certain wild animals followed by delicious afternoon tea! Hearing about how the animals have been rescued & learning about their habitats etc was fascinating. Seeing the baby elephants &!feeding the giraffes were highlights as was seeing the pangolin run across the lawn! Tea in the conservatory was a nice final treat.

Great value for money! I loved it, if you love nature and wild animals and exclusivity then my friend make the booking. It’s about 30 minutes from Harare but the road is great, no potholes or dirt road. Did I mention that I loved it?

Haka Game Park

Reviewed By 548goh

Had a fantastic experience at this venue on Sunday 22 December 2019 as we had our company Christmas Party. The self-catering camps are great with the team assisting us through and through. Canoeing was great and exciting before we ventured on a game drive. I loved taking the Zebra photos from close range. There was no much disturbance from other visitors because of the spaces within the camps.
