Bumbusi Wilderness Camp Offers a Private Safari Experience inside Hwange National Park

Many people struggle to find safari camps that are unique and private. Bumbusi Wilderness Camp’s historical ruins site and secluded game viewing offers guests the chance to experience a Zimbabwean safari with a difference! The camp offers an exceptionally unique experience in a reclaimed corner of Hwange National Park where the various gorges, drainage lines and hills are perfect for safari lovers who like to explore a region on foot. The shady oasis of camp acts like a magnet for wildlife, especially the elephant as the season gets drier which makes for incredible game viewing. Added to the walking and game drive experience, the Bumbusi National Monument adds a beautiful richness to any safari and is located a short drive from camp.

Highlights from Bumbusi Wilderness Camp include:

REMOTE, YET ACCESSIBLE.

The location is unusual in that it offers a really remote camp that is still easily accessed from Victoria Falls.

AN EVERGREEN CAMP OASIS.

Unlike most of the drier sandveld Hwange based camps, Bumbusi is always an oasis, thanks to the evergreen trees and perennial springs.

“This was the first time we were ever in Africa and I couldn’t have asked for better ambassadors than all of those at Bumbusi. The entire experience was incredible and will be remembered for a lifetime.”

– The Williamson family, USA, 2022

VARIED WALKING TRAILS

“We cannot heap enough praise on our experience. The camp was my favourite! There is nothing cloned about it. It has charm and quiet elegance. It is not pretentious It has the rare combination of just being able to belong, and it has every comfort anyone could ask for. Even the pool, which is more like a farm reservoir, fits perfectly.”

– Paul Connelly, 2022

An evergreen Hwange National Park experience

Bumbusi Wilderness Camp is nestled in an oasis of mature trees and shade which, bolstered by the natural pool, makes for a wildlife magnet, especially in the dry season. The stone and thatch chalets all look out onto the lawns and water and compliment the incredible geology of this reclaimed wilderness. Expect hot soaking showers, a cool pool to dip into after a beautiful walking safari, cosy beds and great coffee and meals around the fire! A true safari experience.
