Camp Hwange is a superb base for a Hwange safari. It is convenient to Victoria Falls, offers wonderful game drives and walks and is quirky, comfortable and fun.

It has 7 chalets and 1 family room.  Each chalet overlooks a permanent waterhole. The thatched chalets are spacious and airy,  furnished with stylish simplicity, with en-suite bathroom facilities.  Solar energy provides all the hot water and power to the camp. Building materials have been chosen to blend in with the surrounding bush.

The main area is made up of a spacious lounge and communal dining area where the outstanding meals are served. there is also a firepit which is the heart of safari life and one of the features of Camp Hwange. Guests gather around the camp fire watching the early morning sunrise, sipping cups of tea or coffee, being warmed by the heat of the dancing flames as they listen to the multitude of bird calls as the bush slowly wakes to greet a new day with all its possibilities. Evenings around the fire side are a chance to share with others the sightings and experiences of the day.
