A rustic, traditional camp of 8 canvas-walled units beneath cooling thatch, Camp Hwange overlooks one of the natural waterholes that make this part of Hwange National Park special. Founded in 2010 by a well-known professional guide, the camp’s location is strategic. This private concession in the central part of Hwange lies between the rugged mopane woodlands to the north and the sandy soil teak forests to the south-west; it’s location here on this open savannah ecotone means that game viewing is as diverse as its habitat types.
Aside from fantastic game viewing, especially in the drier months from April through to November, Camp Hwange offers an excellent guided experience with a strong emphasis on walking and tracking. Activities include game drives, night drives, guided walking safaris year-round and observing wildlife from log pile hides. All activities are guided.
Camp Hwange has 8 large, spacious thatched chalets with canvas and gauze sides and ‘open-fronted’ views to the camp waterhole. Rooms are en-suite and recently refurnished with completely renovated bathrooms. Zimbabwean artworks decorate the walls, and a shaded patio provides an additional peaceful place to while away the midday. Beds are covered by large mosquito nets and have overhead fans. All geysers, fans and lighting operate on solar power lowering our environmental footprint. Of the 8 chalets, 1 is a family unit with interleading passage between two ensuite rooms, each with a separate entrance.
