"Jozibanini Camp review"
The atmosphere is relaxed yet serious at the same time. The guys really strive to give folks an experience they can't get anywhere else in the park. While the elephant hide is really interesting, getting out onto the trails on foot or on a mountain bike are essential ways to enjoy this spot.
Spend a good 3 or 4 nights here and mix and match different walks and bike rides, with a few afternoons spent at the hide. Even if you've been around the bush, Jozi's wildness is hard to replicate (especially for my American sensibilities)." See all these reviews: 18n in Zimbabwe

"Delightful bush camp"
Dean, the camp manager and guide, is brilliant and his team of four looked after us so well.The food was excellent, especially when produced on a wood fire and in a wood fired oven.
Our animal sightings were good but species limited. Even so there was track evidence of many more, including main predators.
Game drives consist of a journey one way or the other along the access road, and back. The camp would benefit from the creation of game drive loops which we know Dean is working on." See all these reviews: 9n in Zimbabwe

"A truly wild experience"
There was a limited road network in this area for our stay of 6 nights. However, Dean went out of his way to provide many additional experiences, such as a full day trip to incorporate some fishing. An unusual experience, when it comes down to deciding to catch fish or watch the elephants at the other end of the waterhole!!
Sitting in the underground hide by the waterhole in the evening watching elephants so closely was an amazing experience. As was the early morning bush walks. Where ever you were in the camp you had sight of the waterhole and the animals that were visiting.
The only other vehicle we saw during our stay was a park ranger’s vehicle. In the bush, away from it all – a truly wild experience!
Please don’t change ‘Jozi’. Who needs a dining area when you can use the shade of a tree or a roof of stars!
Our thanks to Dean, for a memorable stay at this lovely camp." See all these reviews: 21n in Zimbabwe

"complete wilderness"
Dining outside in the wilderness was amazing and boy did the elephants join you for dinner sometimes or wake you up around the tent. I always felt safe even being on my own. Food was fab here compliments to the staff and bucket showers the best. If you want a taste of rustic wild then this is definitely the place to go, would have liked some company is my only negative" See all these reviews: 11n in Zimbabwe
