Hideaways Bumbusi Wilderness Camp, Hwange
From $890 /person
Remote chalet camp & bush walks beside ancient ruins in Hwange.
Hideaways Bumbusi Wilderness Camp sits in a remote corner of Hwange National Park (Zimbabwe), hidden among mahogany and jackalberry woodlands and shady river-gorges. The camp comprises seven stone-and-thatch chalets that look over lawns and a natural waterhole, turned wildlife magnet in the dry season. Guests enjoy guided game drives, walking safaris (including visits to the nearby Bumbusi National Monument with its ancient ruins and rock art), and a natural spring-fed pool that elephants frequent — giving you unforgettable bush encounters from camp. With a cozy lounge, library, fireside gatherings and veggie-forward meals, Bumbusi blends rugged wilderness with comfort, ideal for those seeking a private, authentic safari off the beaten path.

Best time to go to Hideaways Bumbusi Wilderness Camp, Hwange
June to October Dry season offers the best wildlife viewing as animals gather at the natural springs and the elephant pool. The bush is thin and the weather is sunny with cool nights. November to March Green season brings lush landscapes and migratory birds. This is the best time for photography and seeing newborn animals though it can be hot and humid. April to May Shoulder season provides a beautiful transition with comfortable temperatures and clear air as the rains end.
