High-end
Inside the park
Owner/family-run
A genuine seasonal bush camp: taken down at the end of each dry season and put back up the next. Walking is what you come for, in a corner of the park with high lion density and almost no traffic. No wifi, no pool, wood-fired cooking. Owned by Dave Carson, who founded Camp Hwange and sold it in 2023.
Why you'd pick it
- The camp is physically dismantled every November and rebuilt in April
- Walking safaris led by a full professional guide are the core product
- A sector so quiet you may not see another vehicle
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.
The full fee schedule for Hwange National ParkRates
From $566 pppn. $754 July to October, fully inclusive. Conservation levy about $20 a night extra.
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.
