Location

Hwange, Zimbabwe

Hwange National Park Airport (IATA: HWN, ICAO: FVWN) is a small regional airport serving the Hwange National Park area in western Zimbabwe, near the Gwayi River Farms district. It primarily functions as an access point for tourists and safari operators visiting Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe's largest game reserve. The airport handles light aircraft and small regional turboprops, catering largely to charter flights and safari lodge transfers rather than scheduled commercial services.
