Inside the park
Owner/family-run
Four exclusive-use tents opened in 2025 on the same Sinamatella concession as Camp Hwange next door, three hours from Main Camp. It is built for privately guided groups who want to set their own schedule and mealtimes rather than share a dining table, and it shares the neighbouring camp's guiding culture, where every guest walks with a fully qualified guide. Wild Expeditions has not yet published a rate for it; ask them directly.

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. Here is what that adds up to.
- 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.
