Thank you for considering Bumbusi
Please see a ‘typical stay’ overview of what to expect from a visit with us and what makes our experience different:
Who is Bumbusi best suited to?
Safari lovers who appreciate having an entire wilderness to themselves – remote and private ensuring you don’t need to share sightings with other camps!
People who enjoy a range of activities on safari – in addition to game drives, there are outstanding walking safaris and incredible historical Bumbusi ruins tours.
Elephant lovers! The oasis of shade and water that is Bumbusi Wilderness Camp is a magnet for elephant in the dry season!
What is the best way to get to us?
By far the easiest way to access Bumbusi is to let us help you book our scheduled 20 minute charter flights from or back to Victoria Falls. These flights are charged at seat rates and land in Robins Camp – a 60 to 90 minute game drive from Bumbusi! Alternatively, for guests already in Hwange, let us know which camp you are coming from and we will arrange a meeting point with your departing camp.
What sort of activities are on offer?
We have a variety of game drive routes that we explore but a huge attraction for Bumbusi are the endless and varied walking safaris available. The gorges, rivers and hills all make for outstanding walking safaris and we occasionally cut tracks of elusive black rhino that we follow. As we head deeper into the dry season, the game, especially elephant, congregates around and in camp so very often you can enjoy amazing game viewing from your chalet or the pool! Finally, the Bumbusi National Monument is located a short drive or interesting walk away – the rock carvings and ‘Great Zimbabwe style’ ruins architecture is fascinating to look at and learn about and adds a lovely richness to the Bumbusi safari experience.

What best describes the Bumbusi experience?
A home from home styled camp with a focus on quality safari traditions like homestyle cooking, good coffee brewed over naked flames, starlight dining and the sounds of the African night. Bumbusi offers a completely different and discerning Hwange safari experience which, when combined with a safari camp in some of the busier areas in Hwange, really gives you the best of both worlds!
