My family and I stayed here for three days, which followed a business-related stay during the previous month. You can't beat the location, right on a water hole on the edge of the national park. Every room has a view of the amazing wildlife. We spent hours watching the animals come and go from the pool deck. The service was... More

This was our 4th stay. No doubt, the situation is improving. Tourists are back... Surely you cannot make comparisons with top ressorts. You should know, that this is Zimbabwe, one of the poorest countries of the world, run down by (no doubt you know the name). The people, be it the hotel staff or citizens outside are extremely friendly and... More

Hwange Safari Lodge has definitely seen better times. The room I stayed in was in definite need of refurbishing, but was clean and the bath room well equipped. The airconditioner did unfortunately not work, but the ceiling fan did and allowed for some sleep despite the heat. Tourim is not doing well, in Zimbabwe, these days. And hotels such as... More

Our party of seven family members, including 3 children, stayed at this hotel for three days and 2 nights. This is a motel type safari lodge in the heart of Hwange National Park, quite different from the tree lodges we stayed during our summer safari in January this year. The check-in was smoothly and efficiently done by the smiling front... More

Hadn't been here for 12 years and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. It's in a stunning location, our room balcony overlooked the waterhole with a contant flow of Elephants, Buffalo and Impala. The room was far better than I expected after reading some reviews on here, and the outside BBQ was of a high quality and the... More

Folks, please remember when you plan a trip to Zimbabwe what the country has gone through. What it is still going through. The lodges, hotels etc are bound to be very run down. Run down but not dirty. I love this country and am willing to turn a blind eye to the grubby bath tub that is so in need... More

We made a last minute booking for one night for US$150 incl breakfast. Check-in was very quick. There were some issues with the room.... the phone wasn’t working, the toilet didn’t flush very well but the game that we saw at the water hole made it all worth it. All the rooms face the bush which is great because you... More
