About
Robins Camp is a long-running camp in the north-west of Hwange National Park. It has campsites with ablutions, en-suite rooms, a restaurant and a swimming pool. It suits visitors who want serious game drives from a comfortable base and don't mind a remote location. It is rated 4.4 from about 170 Google reviews.
The game drives get the most praise. Several reviewers say the guides know where the animals are. One group saw painted dogs, lions, giraffe, buffalo, hippo and elephants. People also like climbing the old lookout tower for panoramic views, and seeing mongooses and warthogs on the well-kept lawns. One traveller who had camped for a month found it a welcome place to regroup, with good ablutions at the campsites and wifi.
Meals are plated à la carte rather than a buffet, and reviewers are mostly positive about them.
Be ready for the journey in. Several reviewers describe a long, bumpy dirt road of about one and a half to two hours. Rooms are called comfortable but rustic and a little dated, with the odd insect inside. One visitor notes there is no fridge or kettle in the rooms, though tea and coffee are available all day. Wifi only reaches the common areas.
