AI Summary
The accommodation's key advantages include its fantastic location near parks and slopes, cleanliness, and friendly, helpful staff. However, some guests may find the facilities slightly old-fashioned.

Besides the fact that we were all “rocked” by these magnificent views, our chalets were absolutely perfect. Everything we needed was available. It is an hour’s drive from Bulawayo and worth at least a 2 night stay. Beds and linen super comfortable. Meals have been really great and the staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful.

OMG. What an absolutely amazing place to stay. You are sitting right on top of the granite rocks. So serene. Saw so many animals, wilder beast, zebra, impala, Eagles, mongoose, rock rabbits, birds, and last but not least, white rhinos. I was able to get so close. The rock formations were amazing. Your imagination could just run wild. Sandili, my beautiful guide, was so knowledgeable with both plants and animals. Knew medicinal properties, scientific and common names. Wealth of information. The camp staff were so friendly. The managers, Marshall and Ashley, were gorgeous, and nothing was a hassle. Thank you so much Only spent 2 days there but was thoroughly enjoyable. Next time, I will definitely be staying longer. Love, love, loved it.

Such a beautiful setting with wonderful views in every direction. They have made the most of the nature all around, even the swimming pool is from a dip in the rock The food is delicious. All the staff were fabulous The guides were so good and interesting with a special shout out to Sandile and Mthabhisi. They were so flexible and took us on walks and to a traditional village, Khami ruins, saw rhinos and watched the sunsetting on lightning rock

It was a wonderful location. Great service from staff and quite picturesque. Went on a night drive, didn't see much wildlife but enjoyed the drive and night breeze. No menu options though, only ate what you were given

I stayed at Big Cave Camp for 2 nights as part of a safari tour. This is one of the most unique locations I've ever stayed at. The camp is on top of giant granite hills, with overhanging rocks providing privacy for the cabins. The scenery is breathtaking, it made for wonderful evenings sitting watching the wildlife come to the waterhole at the bottom of the hill. Marshall and his team do a fantastic job of making everyone feel welcome. I'd highly recommend Big Cave Camp for anyone travelling through this part of Zimbabwe.
