Camp Hwange

Overview

Tucked beneath a shady teak forest on the edge of a sprawling savannah, Camp Hwange is a beautifully rustic, owner-run sanctuary designed for travellers who want to experience the African bush on its own terms. Founded by legendary Zimbabwean guides, the camp deliberately avoids flashy trends in favour of raw authenticity, exceptional food, and arguably the finest guiding team in Southern Africa. The camp centres around a massive, open-sided thatched main lodge that houses the dining area, a cozy bar, and comfortable lounge spaces. Just beyond lies a welcoming swimming pool and a classic open-air fire pit—the ultimate spot to gather while watching herds of elephants, buffalo, and sable antelope at the active waterhole directly in front of camp.

Highlights

• Unmatched walking safaris tracking big game on foot with elite professional guides.
• The unique 'Logpile Hide' offers profound, eye-level encounters with elephants at the waterhole.
• Exclusive game viewing on a private concession, allowing for off-roading and night drives.
• Intimate safari experience with a maximum of 6 guests per game drive vehicle.
