Deteema Springs Camp

Eco-luxury tented camp · Remote north-west, between Sinamatella and Robins · Machaba Safaris

High-end Inside the park Safari company

Perched above springs that never dry, in a corner of Hwange that sees very few visitors. Note one thing many sites get wrong: there are no night drives here, because it sits on park land rather than a private concession. Walking is what this camp does best.

Why you'd pick it

  • Permanent natural springs seep right below camp, so game comes daily
  • Walking safaris are the headline here
  • Almost nobody reaches this part of the park

What's here

  • Swimming pool
  • Wi-Fi

  • Family rooms
  • Solar or 24h power
  • Laundry

Arranged from the lodge:

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 for guests sleeping inside the park.
$12per person, per day
VehicleForeign-registered vehicle, at the staying-inside rate.
$3per vehicle, per day

Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $81 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.

Sleeping inside the boundary is what keeps that low. $12 if you sleep inside the park, against $24 a day for anyone driving in from outside.
