Top tier chef, service, and accommodations We had the most amazing trip to Camp Kuzuma. From the start, the service was incredible. There was excellent communication from the camp managers who provided an orientation and everything we needed to know for our stay. One of the managers even provided a super interesting talk about elephants which was a bonus! They made extra efforts to make our honeymoon special while we were there. Rex was always available in the bar area when you needed anything. In terms of animal sightings, this is the place to go if you’re looking to see high volume elephants. They were right outside the dining hall and our room for most of the day. One huge highlight was the chef- the food was some of the best I’ve ever had during our travels. Would come back just for his cooking again!![]()

Great location on the road towards Khwai, and situated along the Mababe river. The main lodge area is large and airy with lots of comfortable seating. For those it matters to (which isn't me!) wifi is only accessible in the main area giving you peace and quiet in the rooms to enjoy the surroundings. Each room has a nice outside deck with a couple of seats.![]()

Beautiful lodge and hospitality! Beautiful lodge and hospitality! We went as a family with my daughters, ages 13 and 11 years old and we all had a wonderful time. The views from the main lodge as well as from our tents were spectacular. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We were so impressed with the guides' knowledge of the bush and animals. We loved being able to hop out of the vehicle during our game drives and explore the riverbed and giant trees.![]()

Hidden Gem After a gruelling safari ride from the airstrip at the top of Hwange you arrive at this charming little oasis in the bush where they greet you with a bush sink, hot water and hot hand towels....and you are dusty. Then you step further into and age of pith helmets, slow moving ceiling fans and claw foot bathtubs open to the view of buck and elephant coming to the watering hole. After that, it's a life of pure pampering. Safaris by their very knowledgeable and charming guide complete with a morning coffee or afternoon sundowner stop with all the gear including table cloth and when you get back, gourmet food at your well laid table outside viewing the beautiful african bush. The staff appear out of nowhere with your every wish and the hosts are an adorable young couple who are great storytellers. You must try it and see.![]()

Game lodge in Chobe enclave with many elephants This is a lodge situated in the Chobe Enclave where the elephants migrate through seasonally. We were fortunate to see many bathing and drinking at the permanent waterhole right in front of the lodge. Ronell as host was friendly and helpful. Gavin is truly passionate about the elephants and Beer, the guide, really knows the area and game well with a great spotting ability.![]()

Vacation Fun This place was wonderful, can watch the wildlife as you are sitting on the deck, eating your meals or swimming in the pool. I was very lucky one day to see 120 elephants within 4 hours, what a site to see. There is only 11 staff members there at a time, and I can not say enough about how professional, courteous, informative, friendly and overall just fun to be with. Rex and I had lots of laughs, smiles and fun, he never missed a beat on the service, he was there during the day. Manputo(spelling), was there at night, she was so quick with everything that we needed or wanted, great to be around. The housekeeping, chefs, and general maintenance people were great with the service they provided, did not get to see much of them. Beer was the guide who could not give us enough information and time to show us all the great things there is to see there, he was wonderful and such a good person to get along with. Clifford (spelling) was the tracker, the presentation he gave us on the hunting skills, fire starting, eating in the wild, and how he carried his water in an egg, was such a treat, this was such a great thing to present to the guest, thank you for all your information. Ronnell and Gavin are the managers, what lovely people they are, Gavin is so enthusiastic about the elephants that it makes you want to do more research. I have to say, when I was there, a couple were very rude, nasty, mean, and very disrespectful to the staff and management, everyone there acted very professional and even did it with a smile. I not sure I could have been as nice as they were under the same circumstances. Thank you,![]()

We had the best time on our honeymoon at Hideaway’s! We had a great guide with Ndaba & JC (for one night) Chef K was epic, and we had to be rolled away from every meal that’s how much food we had. To Abby, Jill & the rest of the Front of House team they were so welcoming and the entire staff made us feel at home! We will be back!!![]()

This is a magical place. The view from the lodge is fantastic. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Thabo the intern was particularly friendly and doing a great job. The Safari drives with Julius (JC) were spectacular. So many animals seen. We loved it.
