Inside the park
Safari company
No longer a ZimParks camp, despite what many guides say. Under private management it has become the best-value serviced option in the park, and the Robins sector delivers the biggest buffalo herds and the most lions. The campsite is genuinely good.
Why you'd pick it
- Buffalo herds over two thousand strong and the park's highest lion density
- Three refurbished hides: Big Toms, Little Toms and Croc Pools
- Electric-fenced campsite with power at most pitches
What's here
- Campsite
- Spa or massage
Arranged from the lodge:
- Game drives
- Guided walks

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 $40 camping. Full board with two game activities $300 low season, $390 high; meals only from $180. Chalet rates include your park fees.
Full board. Meals are included; drinks, activities and park fees are not.
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.
