About

A lodge with a campsite in the Matobo Hills, at the 46 km peg on the Kezi road. It is rated 4.5 from 92 Google reviews, most of them from guests in the lodge rooms and suites, so campers here share the site with a lodge that values its quiet.

Guests write warmly about the setting, calling it peaceful and unlike anywhere they had stayed, with suites that blend into the landscape. They praise the food and the staff, who looked after one family reunion of 29 people aged ten to 81 over Christmas. A couple who came in mid March, the quiet season, had the place nearly to themselves; the team baked a birthday cake and arranged a rhino trek. Several mention the animals living around camp.

One lodge guest says overlanders from the campsite had the run of the lodge area, taking over the pool and making calls on speakerphone. The stated policy, they were told, is that campers use the lodge only when there are no lodge guests, but it was not enforced despite repeated complaints. Campers should ask on arrival which areas they can use.

“Fantastic except that the management allows overlanders camping at the campsite the free run of the lodge area. They monopolize the pool, talk on speakerphone, video chat as if in a hotel lobby rather than a safari camp. Supposedly the policy that they are only allowed to use…”
