A Magical Place in Hwange
This was our last safari lodge stay on a trip through Botswana and Zimbabwe, and it was the perfect way to finish. This place is peaceful, isolated and such a gem. Hosts Nikki and Matt are so lovely as are all the staff. Our guide Taffy was unhurried and showed us so much. We loved this place and have the best memories from here. I highly recommend staying here, it is a truly special place.

A wonderful stay in the "Out of Afica" style
We had the opportunity to stay in Bumbusi for a couple of days this October. Everything was perfect, from the warm welcome from all the staff, the room with its outdoor bathroom overlooking the savannah. It was also a real treat for the taste buds thanks to chef Tadiwa. We were not so lucky regarding animals spotting, but the ambiance of the safari was still fully present within the great concession, where Bumbusi is located. Thanks again to the team for that perfect stay.

Amazing Experience all round
We flew from Victoria Falls to Robins Airstrip to be greeted by our friendly guide, who transferred us to Hideaways Bumbusi Wilderness Camp. The bush walk through the Gorge left a memorable impression of times past The lodge staff were friendly and food excellent, ensuring we had a wonderful 2-night stay.

What an incredible place! The location is simply stunning. You really feel immersed in nature, surrounded by the most beautiful scenery. The pool is gorgeous and the food delicious. I stayed in a room with a bathroom overlooking the bush, and seeing giraffes casually walking past while taking a bath was an experience I’ll never forget! We also went on a walking safari. The guides were brilliant, incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they do. The sundowners were another highlight, followed by a truly special dinner right out in the bush. If going on safari in Hwange is on your bucket list, do yourself a favour and add Bumbusi to your list of places to stay. You won’t regret it!

A Hidden Gem with exceptional service delivery
Lovely and very calming place, can highly recommend. The management couple Nicci & Matt and the staff were exceptional, always attentative, flexible and make you feel at home. Great food variety and presentation and we had a surprise bush dinner, too, in an amazing setting. In addition to Game Drives, there is also the Rock Art experience where our guide took us and shared his knowledge on acient history. Very relaxing pool area where the elephants come to drink. Rooms practical with everything you need while on safari and clean.

We should have stayed longer
A truly unique and unforgettable bush experience in an exclusive private concession, complemented by exceptional service from a remarkable team of dedicated staff. The journey is well worth the travel for the opportunity to enjoy such an intimate and exclusive bush experience in a spectacular setting. Surreal moments, like sitting down for afternoon tea while elephants are just 30 meters away in an unfenced lodge really makes the whole experience personally rewarding for me. The food was outstanding, and the staff consistently went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was special and memorable. My only regret is that we did not plan to stay a little longer.

A hidden delight in Hwange
Had a wonderful stay at Bumbusi Wilderness Camp. The camp itself is incredibly charming, and while the rooms are a little rustic they offer everything you need for a confortable stay. Set amongst large beautiful trees frequented by monkeys, a refreshing pool to cool off in, and the most hospitable team who are always on hand to solve a problem, offer a drink or have a chat, this camp was an absolute favourite of my Zimbabwe adventure. We travelled at the end of the rainy season, which requires a sense of adventure, but it all added to the fun of being in a remote part of Hwange with no other vehicles so we could enjoy exclusive sightings and even an amazing bush walk observing all creatures great and small on foot. Will definitely be back!

This was the “real” Africa! An authentic lodge that looks out across the marvellous scenery with a dam where animals come to drink. Accommodation was comfortable and clean, again with great views. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were attentive, kind and helpful.
However be prepared for an hour and a half’s drive in a safari vehicle along a bumpy corrugated road to get there (and back) and some visitors may prefer air conditioning to fans in the rooms.
Those things didn’t worry me and I really loved my time at Hideaways Nantwich.

The most picturesque part of Mana Pools
Mhara River Camp sits in what may well be the most beautiful area of Mana Pools. From camp you look across the river to a ridge of baobabs, a view I could have watched all day. Getting around is part of the adventure too: drives take you down and through steep, dry riverbeds in a dramatic landscape that feels wild and untouched. The main lodge has so many little nooks to settle into with your morning coffee, each with its own view. The rooms are lovely, with plenty of charging stations, a huge bathroom and a fantastic shower. The guiding was excellent. Tor, the pro guide, is a gentle, calming presence who made every guest feel confident and looked after. The food was a highlight as well: fresh avocado at lunch every day, amazing salads, hearty dinners and lovely wine to go with them. The staff were friendly throughout. Above all, the camp reflects its owners, who have such warm, big hearts. It has a classic, timeless safari feel that is increasingly rare. I'll be back in a heartbeat

Our third stay at Nantwich, this time with our extended family including 2 grandkids, and a sensational time was had by all.
Our guide Ndaba is very knowledgeable and articulate, our group had amazing sightings;
Lions and cubs, Buffaloes harassing 2 male Lions, numerous Leopard sightings including 3 very large male Baboons attacking a overly confident Leopard, amazing.
Thanks to all the staff you are the icing on the Nantwich cake, and you all deserve kudos
We will return
