We could not fault our stay at hwange safari lodge. The wildlife came regularly to the watering holes which was a truly memorable experience. They have a raised platform With a bar which offers a great view of the plain. All the staff were so friendly and attentive and the food was very good. It is one of the best hotel Experiences we have had anywhere and we travel extensively. We cannot recommend it highly enough

This place is a RIP OFF. Breakfast was $60.00. What a joke! It did have some animals at the watering hole, I guess cos they don’t need wallets. I booked it through Expedia and they thought it was hotels.com This is why I paid for breakfast I think. Expedia included breakfast. Basically they just want your money and don’t care how they get it. Zimbabwe barge in US dollars and don’t have change, it’s so poor that street people are rife. Very Sad. In conclusion, done use this place and go to Botswana, SUCH a different attitude and you will save 10 fold. This of course is without presiding e and my opinion only! Good luck travelers 😀

Quiet but pleasant
The lodge was great with the night visit from elephants and loads of other animals out front. The visit being in the low season didn't affect quality of the game drive but the numbers were low but some good quality views in terms of variety.

Excellent lodge to stay at when visiting Hwange National Park. The hotel is falling apart though and needs a proper room by room gut renovation. We had to switch rooms twice, and late at night, the first night we were there. The third room we got, at which point we were upgraded, was great but not at 23:00 when you have a 06:30 full day safari the next day. The hotel should do a gut renovation in groups of rooms at a time otherwise the reviews will struggle to be 5* (when they really should be but animals and safari drives are not part of a hotel's/lodge's reviews).

Experience Safari Lodge 1 night stay
We only stayed at this lodge for one night. We drove up from Bulawayo and found the sign for the lodge quite easily. Parking is onsite but isn't watched, and out in the open. Lodge is slightly outdated. Our front door knob of room 245 could be replaced. Also the bathroom wasn't quite clean and could use a refurbish. We had a household of ants walking in our room that came through the bathroom tiles. No safe inside the room. The phone wasn't working. Also the mosquito net had plenty of holes in them. Meal we had at the buffet was nice but pricey at 25 dollars. Staff was amazing though. We arrived two hours early but our room was ready for us. Friendly and helpful. The rooms look out on a watering hole where you can find all types of animals walking in and out daily. Seats are locating inside the room so you can sit and watch. It was nice and quiet inside the room even though we saw they were doing maintenance just a few rooms ahead of us.

Good pool, good service.. Older style bathroom. We organized a taxi driver from Vic Falls to stay with a friend in Hwange for two nights to get us there and back (US$250). Maybe they could organize a bus transfer there and back. Morning and evening 3hour safari tours were good.

From start to finish this trip was outstanding! I emailed the lodge months in advance to arrange multiple trips and the staff were always eager to make it the best stay. Over email they told me they will arrange the trips I want to do with the days Im staying. So sweet!! I also requested an anniversary dinner to be set up, they told me to leave it with them. Coming up to the dinner I was nervous because no one had said anything about it! Well I was just as surprised as my partner! The effort that went into this dinner was just breathtaking. The manager arranged our table to be secluded at the pool with loads of candles surrounding, also right beside the fence which meant the elephants were so close while eating our dinner! AMAZING. Not only was the set up of our dinner breathtaking as it was, the waiter we had specifically for our table was brilliant as well! I can actually say he was the best waiter I have seen throughout Victoria Falls and Hwange! so well done. AND to top it all off, the lodge gave us a bottle of champagne on the house! No words, seriously. The really done a fantastic job!! The lodge also provide game drives into Hwange national park so you can see the BIG 5! We went on a game drive throughout the day and thought it was great. The guide stops off and gives you drinks and snacks so you don't have to bring your own. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous as well with an amazing view overlooking a waterhole so you can see a rangeof animals coming to drink

The lodge is in need of a touch up. The toilet kept running, the bath needed replacing and the kettle had a white ring around it on the inside. On the flipside the air con was fsntastic and the bed super comfy.
