A comfortable 12-bed tented camp overlooking a tranquil waterhole at the frontier of Hwange National Park and visited by a procession of elephants throughout the day. Not a conventional safari lodge — but a conservation base where your presence funds everything, and where you will witness a wildlife range-land recovery project unfold step-by-step in real time.
Explore the recovering bush landscape on foot and feel the African wilderness in a way no vehicle can replicate. Or paddle silently across the pan with our experienced guides and immerse yourself in another unique “Mambanje Moment”… Watching in awe from a completely different perspective in the safety of your canoe as elephants begin to drink from the waters edge only a few meters away.
Hwange National Park — Zimbabwe’s largest and premier national park — is home to over 400 species of birds and 108 species of wildlife, including an estimated 40,000 elephants. The park also hosts eight large species of carnivore. Our 4×4 Land Cruiser open game viewers take guests deep into the park for half-day and full-day photographic safaris. Lion, leopard, wild dog, sable, roan, giraffe and more await inside.
Join our Ukhozi Rangers to find out what it takes to protect wildlife on the front line and they’ll show you what to look for and how to spot poacher’s wire snares camouflaged and hidden in the African bush. Then compete with our rangers in a fun practical exercise to see who can hide or find the most snares on a simulated snare-removal patrol. .
Visit Chezhou Primary School, meet the teachers, see the rebuilt classrooms, and witness first-hand the difference that support has made to 350 children.
