Inside the park
Owner/family-run
Self-catering but serviced, right beside Masuma Dam and its excellent hide, at a fraction of what any lodge inside the park charges. You cook, they look after the rest. Bring a capable vehicle and all your supplies.
Why you'd pick it
- The cheapest serviced beds inside the park
- Masuma Dam hide is right next door, one of Hwange's best
- Overlooks the vlei
What's here
- Self-catering
Read from Kapula Private Camp's own website in July 2026. Anything not listed we could not confirm, which is not the same as it being absent.
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 about $73 pppn. Priced per two-tent unit for up to eight people; whole camp available. Park fees not included.
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.
