Hwange Bush Camp is a small tented camp found in a quiet and largely untouched northern region of the Hwange National Park. You pretty much have the area and the abundance of wildlife all to yourself.
It’s a rustic tented camp, comprising of only seven canvas abodes that look out onto the pristine bush and immerse you right into the wilderness. It’s all about the exceptional game viewing and a real African safari experience on guided game drives and bush walks.
The camp itself is nothing spectacular, especially if you were thinking luxury, but that’s not what staying here is all about. It’s really about the wildlife and animal encounters and your tent is but a place to rest your head after a busy day in the bush. Now that’s not saying it’s rudimentary, it’s actually rather decent and covers all the necessities done in a tasteful and comfortable manner. You have flushing toilets, a bush shower with hot water and solar power. A snug bed, clean linens and a spot to put your feet up both inside and out.
The main area offers a lounge, dining area, bar and campfire. All the essentials are catered for, the food is delicious cooked over a wood fire and the setting is everything you would expect of a remote area of Zimbabwe’s largest National Park. It’s quiet and the safari experience is both exclusive and authentic.
You’ll sign indemnity on arrival so if telling you this is the real deal is not enough, that should be. No children under the age of 12 are allowed on walking safaris. This is a big game destination and you’re in for a true African safari for sure. There’s no mobile connectivity or WiFi here, just connecting with nature and getting lost in your surrounds.
Sounds pretty good. Let’s go, but before we do though, best take cash along, there are no credit card facilities here. We told you it’s remote. This is a bush camp at its best. If you’d like to push the limits even further, they also offer fly camping – a multiple night camp out experience in a dome tent combined with a walking safari between mobile camps.
From the Mbala Gate to the camp is a two hour game drive, whether you are being transferred or on a self-drive.
You are heading off on game drives into Hwange National Park in an open safari vehicle with an expert guide. Walking safaris are an exciting adventure and a must-do in these parts. There are loads of waterholes in the area so both wildlife and birdlife is varied and abundant and your guide will ensure the safari experience is as good as it gets.
Private vehicles can be booked.
