Changa Safari Camp

The lake changes the pace at Changa, set on Kariba’s shoreline inside Matusadona. Days move between game drives, elephant trail walks, fishing and sunset cruises, with eight tents under mopane trees and a private beach close by.

The Hide

The Hide sits in a private concession on Hwange’s eastern boundary, with waterhole views from every room. Elephants, kudu and zebra wander in close, and the underground hide makes slow, quiet watching feel properly rewarding.

Somalisa Acacia

Somalisa Acacia keeps Hwange exciting for families without watering down the safari. Set beneath acacias, it has an elephant drinking pool, child-friendly guiding, a swimming pool and easy access to game drives in proper big wildlife country.

Tembo Plains Camp

Tembo Plains is tucked into riverine forest on the Zambezi, inside the private Sapi Reserve east of Mana Pools. Four suites, strong guiding and that stone and canvas design give it privacy, style and serious elephant country.

Fothergill Island

Fothergill sits on Lake Kariba inside Matusadona, with water, wildlife and Zimbabwean history all wrapped into one stay. It suits travellers who want a softer lake-based safari, but still with real national park wilderness around them.

Nehimba lodge

Nehimba is northern Hwange at its most characterful. Raised thatch suites face a busy waterhole, elephants are regular camp visitors, and the nearby Nehimba Seeps add a wonderfully local safari story to game drives and sundowners.

Camp Hwange

Camp Hwange sits in a private central Hwange concession, between mopane woodland, kopjes and teak forest. It is a proper guiding camp, with natural waterholes, varied habitat and a strong sense of being deep inside the park.

Mana River Camp

Mana River Camp is right on the Zambezi in Mana Pools, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape made for walking. Expect elephants, buffalo, wild dogs and plenty of time outside, with just seven tents keeping the atmosphere relaxed.

Verney’s Camp

Verney’s sits on a remote private concession in south-eastern Hwange, tucked around an open floodplain and lively waterhole. Game drives, night drives and walks keep days varied, while elephant and buffalo often do the visiting.

Ruckomechi Camp

Ruckomechi has a prized Mana Pools position under albida trees beside the Zambezi. Walking is a major draw, canoeing adds another angle, and elephants feeding around camp give the place that unmistakable Mana Pools magic.
