Controlling the narrative
The Marketing Committee takes the lead in shaping how the world sees Hwange. Through consistent social media storytelling, blog features, newsletters and website updates, we share the beauty of our wildlife, the strength of our communities, and the importance of conservation. These platforms help us reach both local and global audiences while keeping stakeholders informed and inspired.
Hwange Branded Merchandise
Merchandise is more than souvenirs, it’s a way of building identity and pride. Branded materials will allow visitors, locals and partners to carry a piece of Hwange with them while creating greater visibility for the region. From practical items to keepsakes, our merchandise will reflect the values of conservation, community and sustainability.
Signage at Cross Mabale
Cross Mabale is one of Hwange’s busiest gateways, making it a key point for visibility. By placing clear, professional signage here, we not only welcome travelers but also strengthen Hwange’s identity as a tourism destination. These signs will provide direction, awareness, and a strong sense of place, connecting visitors immediately with the spirit of Hwange.
The Marketing Committee is part of a broader community of Tourism Operators in Hwange whose mission is to showcase and protect the integrity of all national parks in the Hwange region including the surrounding ecosystems, ecology, water bodies, cultural sites and communities.
