Our stay at Gwango Elephant Lodge in Hwange was a true African experience that exceeded my expectations. The combination of stunning wildlife, knowledgeable guides, and cultural engagement made it a memorable adventure. Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast or simply seeking to connect with nature, this camp is a gem in the heart of Zimbabwe. I left with a deeper appreciation for Africa's beauty and diversity, eager to return with more guests.

Beautiful location and lodges, close to Hwange Park. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were well taken care of. The staff was very friendly and helpful. On the path into the bush, I saw not only elephant tracks but also those of a lion or leopard. The elephants roaming the grounds were used to people, but definitely not tame. Very annoying, however, that you're required to use 100 words for a review. That doesn't help at all. so so so so so so so so so

We enjoyed our stay, the staff were incredible and friendly. Thank you to Leo and the chefs for accommodating us even after dinner time as we arrived late due to delays. Would 100% recommend, the rooms were perfect and great activities on offer.

This is a great place to stay, great value for a family vacation. If you have kids the farm tour was very educational and engaging. The game drives were educational and enjoyable.
