Wild Expenditions 1

A rustic, traditional camp of 8 canvas-walled units beneath cooling thatch, Camp Hwange overlooks one of the natural waterholes that make this part of Hwange National Park special.

Founded in 2010 by a well-known professional guide, Camp Hwange’s location is strategic. This private concession in the central part of Hwange lies between the rugged mopane woodlands to the north and the sandy soil teak forests to the south-west; it’s location here on this open savannah ecotone means that game viewing is as diverse as its habitat types.

Aside from fantastic game viewing, especially in the drier months from April through to November, Camp Hwange offers an excellent guided experience with a strong emphasis on walking and tracking.

Each room is en-suite with its own private bathroom and its own shaded patio with views to the camp waterhole. The interleading passage has doors at both ends ensuring the two rooms are separate but easily accessible. All beds have large mosquito nets and overhead fans and all geysers, fans and lighting operate on solar power lowering our environmental footprint.
