"Magical"

3 nights Arrived 23 Sep 2023
"The camp is embedded into a small island which makes this a magical place.

From this location both wet and dry parts of the delta can be explored, which also means that any game drive in a dry part involves a 40 minutes transfer by boat and vehicle. We have been guided by an experienced professional guide who also offered short walks.

Staff is very kind and very helpful and puts an effort into making the stay an experience for you. Food and drinks are good, and there is a variety of dishes offered at every meal - breakfast even features Italian cappuccino! Tents are large and well equipped.

There is wifi in the tent but not in the communal areas."

Hwange Bush Camp

Hwange Bush Camp

"I used to love self drive..."

3 nights Arrived 29 Sep 2023
"This is a camp that focusses on wildlife, guiding, bush life and communality of the guests rather than on civilisation luxury.

It is located in the game-rich Robins area, and we have had fabulous sightings thanks to excellent guides. We have been guided by a professional guide and a learner guide who was very knowledgeable and experienced - and fun to be with.

Hospitality at the camp is equally outstanding. While the variety of the food and the drinks is tailored to bush life, the cooking was brilliant. Service was very personal, amazingly attentive and at the same time unobtrusive. The meals are communal, with breakfast around the fire at dawn and dinner around a beautifully decorated table - allowing for good conversations with our bush camping mates.

The tents feature a comfortable bed, a washbasin, a proper toilet, a bucket shower (filled within a few minutes with water at the desired temperature upon request at any given time), a fan and electric light including good reading lights at the bedside. This is not one of the camps trying to mimic a downtown Manhattan five star hotel room. This is one of the very few places that offers authentic bush camping in a very comfortable manner.

For ten years I used to prefer self drive over camps for the wilderness experience. Hwange Bush Camp has changed this preference, and I hope to be able to come back and spend more time here including some fly camping."
