Hwange Bush Camp
Eight permanent canvas tents in the Robins Area — en-suite bathrooms, 24-hour solar, home-cooked meals, walking and driving safaris led by Zimbabwe Pro Guides. The flagship base camp.
Immerse yourself in the heart of Zimbabwe's largest national park. An authentic African experience with emphasis on walking safaris led by Zimbabwe Pro Guides — face-to-face with the wild.
— Newly rebuilt for 2026 · Open April–November
New · 2026
We've rebuilt Hwange Bush Camp from the canvas up — bigger rooms, better beds, refreshed bathrooms and a brand-new mess tent on the same untouched stretch of the Robins Area you remember.
Same eight tents. Same elephants at the waterhole. Everything else, reimagined.
Larger footprint, higher ceilings, room to breathe and to spread out the safari kit.
Fully refreshed plumbing, hot bucket showers and proper flushing loos in every tent.
Brand-new mattresses and crisp linen — the kind that makes a bush camp feel like a hideaway.
Upgraded solar array and charging points in every tent — silent, off-grid, always on.
A larger, lighter dining and sundowner space — open to the bush, sheltered from the sun.
Untouched Robins Area, unchanged — the rebuild gave us better camp, not a different place.

Hwange Bush Camp is open April–November and closed during the rains (December–March).
Spacious canvas tents with comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms with daily laundry, 24-hour solar charging services, and home-cooked meals — fresh pancakes, fire-toasted bread, and warm meals.
Positioned for wildlife viewing across grasslands, natural springs, and watering holes.
Three ways to experience Hwange. Pick one, or pair them in a single trip — most guests do.

A stripped-back night (or two, or three) deep in the bush — no fences, no power, no neighbours. Walk in, sleep under the stars, eat by the fire. Pure adventure.
Most guests do. Spend a few nights at the Bush Camp, walk out for a fly-camping night under the stars, then return for a hot shower and a proper bed. The best of both.
Stripped-back · Off-grid
Walk out from the Bush Camp with a Zimbabwe Pro Guide, set up small mobile dome tents in a secret bend of the bush, and let the fire do most of the talking. No fences. No generators. Just you, the guide, the stars, and the sounds of a wild Hwange night.

Around the fire
Walking outWalking safaris and driving safaris, fly camping under the stars, and prime wildlife viewing — all led by Zimbabwe Pro Guides and combined seamlessly within a single stay. Mix and match each day.
Led by expert Zimbabwe Pro Guides — both walking safaris and 4×4 driving safaris through pristine wilderness, combined within every stay.
A stripped-back, adventurous night out from the bush camp — simplicity, nights under the stars, and remote locations you reach on foot or by vehicle. Fly camping is a minimum two-night stay.
Prime viewing of elephants, lions and diverse species across grasslands and waterholes — Hwange is home to over 40,000 elephants and 400+ bird species.
All three combined — one all-inclusive rate, one camp, one wild week.
Northern Hwange
"In Hwange, the wild doesn't perform — it simply lives. The bush teaches patience, and rewards it with elephants at the waterhole, lions on the termite mounds, and skies wider than memory itself."
