Bomani Tented Lodge
An Imvelo Safari Lodges camp on the Ngamo Plains in Hwange’s private Mbala concession, with thatch-and-canvas suites overlooking a busy waterhole. Zimbabwean-owned, with the majority of its staff drawn from local communities, it combines strong elephant and general game viewing with a meaningful conservation and local-employment story.
Camelthorn Lodge
An Imvelo Safari Lodges camp in southeastern Hwange, close to the Ngamo Plains, with spacious forest villas set among camelthorn and teak woodland. A relaxed, family-friendly base for game drives and walking safaris, with its own splash pool and strong community-conservation ties.
Nehimba Lodge
An Imvelo Safari Lodges camp in Hwange’s north-central reaches, overlooking its own natural waterhole that draws exceptional elephant traffic during the dry season. Wooden chalets and a wilder, more secluded feel make this a favourite for repeat safari-goers.
Jozibanini Camp
Imvelo’s wilderness camp in Hwange’s far southwestern corner, run on solar power with no phone signal. A small, back-to-basics tented camp built around walking safaris and genuine wilderness immersion, with storytelling around the campfire a highlight of the experience.
Tum Tum Treehouse Lodge
Imvelo’s newest and most unusual camp — just six rooms, four of which are built up in the trees and one a family tent on a raised wooden platform, all overlooking a waterhole where elephants and other game pass close by. A dramatic, intimate way to experience Hwange’s wildlife, opened in 2026.
Camp Hwange
Camp Hwange sits on a private concession in the middle of Hwange National Park, looking out over its own natural waterhole from an open-sided thatched lounge. Eight canvas-and-thatch rooms stand along the treeline, one of them a two-room family unit with separate bathrooms. The camp was founded by a Zimbabwean professional guide and walking is central to it: game drives run in open 4x4s, but most guests end up on foot at some point, tracking with a guide or sitting out the afternoon in a logpile hide at a pan. Access is a 20-minute flight from Victoria Falls to Shumba airfield, then fifteen minutes by road.
Muddy Teak
Muddy Teak lies on the same private concession as Camp Hwange, in central Hwange National Park, and takes its name from the waterhole it faces. Four tents stand on low decks, linked by sand paths under the canopy, and the camp is booked on an exclusive-use basis only, so a group has it to itself. Days are shaped around whatever the animals are doing, on foot, in an open vehicle or from a logpile hide at the water. It opens from 1 May to 30 November, through the dry season, and closes for the rains.
The Hide Safari Camp
The Hide takes its name from the underground photographic hide at the end of a tunnel running out from the main building, where guests sit at eye level with elephants drinking, at any hour of the day or night. Ten en-suite tents under thatch stand on a private concession on the eastern side of Hwange, all facing the same waterhole; two are family units, and a separate treehouse sleep-out, the Dove’s Nest, overlooks a second pan. The waterhole also carries a live Africam stream. Most guests fly in from Victoria Falls, where seat-rate flights are available; the road transfer is currently in poor condition and takes around five hours.
