The Chipinda Pools Tented Camp, a fantastic and excellent value for money facility was completed in July 2012 through funding provided by the Frankfurt Zoological Society as part of the Gonarezhou Conservation Project and comprises four extremely spacious East African style tents. Two of the tents have a double bed and two stretcher beds and two of the tents have a double bed and two single beds allowing one plenty of flexibility for families. Each tent has an en suite bathroom (with solar geysers providing copious amounts of piping hot water) at the back of each tent and a large covered veranda at the front. The camp is located high up on the banks of the Runde River offering views over extensive Phragmites reedbeds frequented by elephants. The riverine fringe provides excellent birding and with some luck one might get a sighting of one of the resident Pel’s Fishing Owls. Game in the vicinity of the camp is extremely relaxed with groups of nyala, kudu, impala and elephant happily passing through camp.

A small intimate lodge featuring 7 luxurious tree houses and 2 Presidential Elephant Suites set on elevated platforms amongst the indigenous flora of Hwange Game Park.

Deep in the mystical teak forests of Hwange is this unobtrusive camp, bathed in the tales of pioneering hunters and explorers such as Fredrick Courtney Selous. Lumbering giants drift around your stilted platforms , their tusks glinting in salute to the sanctuary of shade offered up by these massive trees.

This is Ivory Lodge – place of elephants. It is here that great herds of elephants are found – sometimes over 100 strong.

Hwange is renowned for its huge tuskers – big old bulls with magnificent tusks. It is also here that the famous Presidential Herd drinks – these elephants’ home-range is amongst the dense feeding areas of the Sikumi Vlei and where they find refuge from the scorching heat at Ivory’s water hole.

Silently, elegantly, the lodge stands over the waterhole…. watch by flood light under a star spangled African night sky – the elephants in their play-fighting….their display of instinctive rituals, their caressing and murmurings…all which speak of years gone by.
