Vic Falls River Lodge

Victoria Falls

12 Rooms

From $910 per person/night

Experience the pre-eminent Victoria Falls in style at this intimate lodge.

Victoria Falls lives up to its reputation as one of the foremost natural wonders of the world, boasting more water-flow than any of Earth's waterfalls during the its peak (Mar/Apr). It is a marvel to behold in more ways than one: zip line across an adjacent gorge, bungee jump to its canyon depths, raft through its fearsome waters - or simply admire the deluge and permanent rainbow-mist from the opposite banks. There are innumerable ways to experience it and the sublime Victoria River Falls Lodge is an ideal base. This intimate, luxurious lodge sits within Zambezi National Park (where wildlife includes elephant, lion, buffalo and leopard), right on the banks of the mighty Zambezi, just upstream from the falls.

Camp Hwange

Hwange

8 Rooms

From $850 per person/night

A first-hand experience of the Hwange wilderness in understated luxury.

This camp is the project of a renowned Zimbabwean guide called Dave Carson, who emphasised quality, charismatic and flexible guiding. Everything they do, they do well. The camp is simple by some standards, yet elegant. It is set next to a permanent waterhole in a private concession in central Hwange National Park where the game is abundant (especially during the dry winter months). It's quite possible to see lions and buffalo, elephants, sable and hippo (amongst others) just from camp. But this is about more than just what you see - it's about creating a holistic experience that connects you with nature.

Nyamatusi Camp

Mana Pools

Popular |

6 Rooms

From $630 per person/night

Treading in the paths of explorers in Zimbabwe's wild Mana Pools

One of the most diverse safari regions in Africa is Mana Pools National Park, with its rich variety of habitats: sprawling wetlands, riverine forests, open plains and the four large permanent pools for which the park is named (mana means 'four' in Shona). Set in a belt of mature forest on the edge of a crook of the Zambezi, Nyamatusi is a brand-new lodge, elegant and understated, and designed with natural materials so that nothing gets between guests and the frankly sensational views. With just six tents, this intimate setting offers down-to-earth, attentive hospitality in an unforgettable World Heritage Site.

Musango Safari Camp

Lake Kariba

8 Rooms

From $450 per person/night

A laid-back water-based safari with a legendary Zimbabwean guide.

Musango Safari Camp occupies its own island on Lake Kariba, near northern Zimbabwe's Matusadona National Park. The 223 kilometre-long manmade (nevertheless, wild) Lake Kariba is home to thriving populations of game fish (most notably tiger fish) and hundreds of species of birds. Hippos populate its waters and and elephants frequent its shores. Here your safari will largely occur from a pontoon boat - a smooth mode of transport, especially great for photographers. Walks and drives can be done in the neighboring national park but are less frequent.

Singita Pamushana Lodge

Gonarezhou

14 Rooms

From $2.4K per person/night

Extraordinary luxury and bush style in a true untamed African wilderness.

This camp has it all. Pamushana lies within the sizeable Malilangwe private reserve on the border of one of the biggest transfrontier parks in the world, Greater Limpopo. Largely unknown by the tourist circuits, this place makes you feel like an old-time explorer who's just struck gold. The activities are diverse and richly rewarding, ranging from very productive and exclusive game drives to world-class wine tasting and ancient rock art site visits. The camp's service is only of the highest standard; its design and phenomenal views (from every corner), are second to none. This is for the safari connoisseur.

Matobo Hills Lodge

Matobo

18 Rooms

From $240 per person/night

Layers of history shroud the boulders at this easy-to-reach Matobo Lodge.

Surrounded by huge red granite domes and thick bush, Matobo Hills Lodge lies in a private reserve adjacent to Matobo Hills National Park. This 34-bed getaway overlooks the Maleme Valley, and it's well loved by Bulawayans as a convenient escape from buzzing city life – one that can be explored on foot, unaccompanied. You won't find lion or elephant here, but there are plenty of leopard and Verreaux's eagle. And, in a small, intensely protected area of the neighbouring park, white rhino can be tracked on foot with a guide.

Highlands House

Harare

14 Rooms

From $180 per person/night

A boutique guest house in Harare’s smart central suburbs.

The Zimbabwean capital of Harare is a modern city. Wide, leafy boulevards and smart high-rise buildings in the central business district give way to quiet, tree-lined residential areas. Highlands House Lodge is located in one of these peaceful suburbs, Highlands, and offers beautiful boutique accommodation just a short hop from the city centre and all the best restaurants, nightclubs and shops. The lovely lodge has fourteen beautifully-appointed guest rooms and an intimate restaurant in the gardens - a super Harare stopover all round.

Malachite Luxury Tented Suites

Victoria Falls

8 Rooms

From $910 per person/night

A picture of elegant safari sophistication, your private alcove on the Zambezi awaits.

Enjoying prime riverfront real estate along the glimmering Zambezi, there are just eight Malachite Luxury Tented Suites. Nature's palette and clever design come together to form the perfect retreat, each opening onto a private deck with its own plunge pool, daybed and bathtub for starlit soaks. Inside the air-conditioned tent, you'll find a California king-sized bed and around 110-square-metres of space to recline in.

The Hide Safari Camp

Hwange

10 Rooms

From $460 per person/night

A Hwange original and probably the best way to explore this park in style.

The Hide offers a top-class experience in an easily accessible but private concession of Hwange National Park. The accommodation is more than comfortable and the family-operated team has pretty much perfected their product over the past two decades. Your stay here will incorporate several different activities and the time spent in camp is sure to be restful and spoiling. Game viewing in the park is best during the dry winter months (June-October) when animals are drawn to the waterholes, which are pumped. That being said, there's plenty to see during the green summertime when the bush is lush and springing with new life and an abundance of birds.

Tembo Plains Camp

Mana Pools

4 Rooms

From $1.3K per person/night

A jazzy camp on the Zambezi River with private pools, boating safaris and photo ops galore

Just east of Zimbabwe's famous Mana Pools, sits the Sapi Private Reserve where vast and lush forests hide furtive leopard, and herds of elephant are seen wallowing in the Zambezi River. Named after Africa's magnificent tuskers, Tembo Plains takes its cue from nature, with meal times to suit your safari and sublime river views from bed. There are few other properties with as many luxe points in the area, and with only four tents, you'll feel suitably spoiled. Tembo Plains is just the place to embrace the wild, then return for evenings spent in the utmost comfort.
