great place to see elephants

Rooms are nice and are well appointed and staff very friendly. Limited menu for meals but the chef was great to work with on suggestions. Elephants come to drink from the water hole and the pool. East to find in Hwange.

Elephants drinking from pool were a highlight. Some nicities were missing e.g. soap in communal toilets, hand towels and washcloths in the room, napkins in dining room, formed paths to the rooms

Upgraded from a bush lodge to delux after noting only single beds available although booked for a couple..the price difference was quoted as an extra $30 but when it came to paying was charged an extra $47..no internet available and very limited menu.

Liked: Cleanliness

Hot water for shower weak, Power supply to rooms weak, USB ports for charging phones did not work. NB The biggest problem is that you have to park your vehicle about 200m from the chalet and have to struggle through the sand with your luggage and every time you need something from the vehicle. VERY INCONVENIENT!! Why not provide parking in front of or behind the chalets, there are ample space.

Hwange was wonderful. The lodge is on the more rustic side, but it is super nice. The beds are comfortable. Everything is clean. The showers can be temperamental, but there is plenty of hot water (my brother struggled with the shower in their room and to be fair, the showers did a bit of alternating between hot and cold occasionally). The only complaint might be that the walls are thin. But our group took up the whole section where we were so we weren’t bothering anyone else and no one else could hear us. The food was very good, though there were some menu items which they were out of. Most importantly, the staff were super accommodating. They pulled out the green laser and turned off some lights for us to have a better look at the stars. And Brighton gave the best game drive ever. He knew the animals, the birds, the trees… it was like having a science professor driving the truck.

Gwango stay nov 2023

Where do I start?! We stayed for 4 nights and it was just amazing. Every single person was so lovely and kind. Seeing elephants drink from the pool is something I'll remember for the rest of my life. Mahko took us on 3 game drives and his knowledge of the park and the animals is on another level, he's an asset to the lodge. The only negative I have is that we couldn't stay longer than 4 nights. I honestly considered feeding my passport to the elephants so I could stay. The lodges were spacious and lovely, beds so comfy. House keeping come in daily with fresh towels and to make the bed. The managers of the resort were also lovely people, so friendly and welcoming. I fell in love with hwange and without a doubt we will be back. If I could give it 10 stars I would.. I'd live there if I could! I thoroughly enjoyed being stuck at the bar because elephants were blocking the way to our room! Also, chef and the food are top notch too. I honestly can't speak highly enough of the place.

We stayed in the bush chalet, brand new, good beds. The staff is extremely friendly and the game drive into Hwange park highly recommendable. The place is still a bit under construction. Loved the fire place!

The lodge is perfect for a visit of Hwange National Park as it is located just 10 min from the entrance. The bush chalets are very clean and cosy and I very much liked the design and decorations. Everybody at the lodge was so attentive and helpful and everything was very well organized. The game drives were perfect and the guides are very knowledgeable and told us a lot about the animals and their habitat. Just bring warm clothes in May. The food was delicious. Elephants come to the water holes and the pool every day and it was absolutely amazing being able to see them from such a short distance. All in all I couldn't recommend the lodge more!

Staff ripped us off replacing our tires.

Enjoyed our stay except we suffered two punctured tires and the staff said they would help arrange us two new tires. It took them 48 hours to do so (meaning we had to extend our stay at the resort), and they charged us $60 per tire, a complete rip-off. I feel like they took the opportunity to exploit us given we would be stranded otherwise. For this reason, I feel disappointed at the service and wouldn't return.
