Beautiful lodges of 5 star quality. Great safari drives with very knowledgeable rangers. we saw the most amazing wild animals. The communal meals were excellent and very sociable with everyone exchanging their safari stories at the end of the day. l Would love to return one day.

My family and I stayed here for three days, which followed a business-related stay during the previous month. You can't beat the location, right on a water hole on the edge of the national park. Every room has a view of the amazing wildlife. We spent hours watching the animals come and go from the pool deck. The service was... More

You should know, that this is Zimbabwe, one of the poorest countries of the world, run down by (no doubt you know the name).

The airconditioner did unfortunately not work, but the ceiling fan did and allowed for some sleep despite the heat. Tourim is not doing well, in Zimbabwe, these days. And hotels such as... More

Our party of seven family members, including 3 children, stayed at this hotel for three days and 2 nights. This is a motel type safari lodge in the heart of Hwange National Park, quite different from the tree lodges we stayed during our summer safari in January this year. The check-in was smoothly and efficiently done by the smiling front... More

It's in a stunning location, our room balcony overlooked the waterhole with a contant flow of Elephants, Buffalo and Impala. The room was far better than I expected after reading some reviews on here, and the outside BBQ was of a high quality and the... More

Folks, please remember when you plan a trip to Zimbabwe what the country has gone through. What it is still going through. The lodges, hotels etc are bound to be very run down.
