Hwange National Park (formerly Wankie) is the largest game reserve in Zimbabwe. The park is situated in the south west, on the main road between Bulawayo and the world famous Victoria Falls.

It was founded around 1928 by a 22-year-old game ranger, Ted Davidson. He befriended the Manchester born James Jones who was the stationmaster for the then Rhodesian Railways at Dete which is very near Hwange Main Camp. Jones managed incoming supplies for the park.
