Outside the gate
Locally owned
The most accessible of Imvelo's camps and the one that best shows their model: a private gate into the park, a sunken hide, and community visits that are part of the rate rather than an upsell. You can even arrive by their own railcar from Dete.
Why you'd pick it
- Imvelo's own private gate, fifteen minutes from camp
- Sunken hide at eye level with drinking elephants
- Ngamo village and school visits, and a spa staffed by community-trained therapists

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Hwange National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside, and almost no booking site shows you that.
- Park entryThe rate if you drive in from outside.
- $24per person, per day
- Vehicle$10 a day on a day visit, $3 if you are staying inside.
- $10per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $174 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
The full fee schedule for Hwange National ParkRates
From $445 pppn. $670 May to October, all inclusive including night drives and the community and school visits.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We have not been able to check whether meals, drinks and activities are included here, so treat this figure as the bed alone until it is.
Indicative 2026 rates from operators' own rate cards, gathered July 2026. Always confirm with the lodge. One thing to watch when comparing: some camps include ZimParks fees in their rate and some do not, which shifts the real gap by $12 to $36 per person per night.
