Had a great time.

10/10 Exceptional

We could not fault our stay at hwange safari lodge. The wildlife came regularly to the watering holes which was a truly memorable experience. They have a raised platform With a bar which offers a great view of the plain. All the staff were so friendly and attentive and the food was very good. It is one of the best hotel Experiences we have had anywhere and we travel extensively. We cannot recommend it highly enough

Always Great

The rooms are renovated and tastefully decorated. The public areas are currently being done and will be fabulous when completed mid year. The setting is amazing and the staff very friendly.

10/10 Exceptional

Quiet but pleasant

The lodge was great with the night visit from elephants and loads of other animals out front. The visit being in the low season didn't affect quality of the game drive but the numbers were low but some good quality views in terms of variety.
Brian, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent lodge to stay at when visiting Hwange National Park. The hotel is falling apart though and needs a proper room by room gut renovation. We had to switch rooms twice, and late at night, the first night we were there. The third room we got, at which point we were upgraded, was great but not at 23:00 when you have a 06:30 full day safari the next day. The hotel should do a gut renovation in groups of rooms at a time otherwise the reviews will struggle to be 5* (when they really should be but animals and safari drives are not part of a hotel's/lodge's reviews).
Christopher, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were booked on a game tour at 3.00 - 6.00 and then changed to 10.00 to 1.00. After 75 minutes we had not seen one animal, we then visited two waterholes and no game, and this was irresponsible and disappointing. Please ensure you keep to original bookings and 10.00 to 1.00 is not a good time for game, and Benson must be more aware of where game moves and lives. He also drove at 40kph instead of the 60kph speed limit to the Park and had no humour or communication.
Malcolm, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

- the entrance atmosphere felt a bit cold as the half of the common area including the lobby was under renovation - they called us multiple times late evening and early morning to confirm safari details e.g. time or dietary requirements for the lunchbox.. all of this could have been done upon checkin (which we asked) instead of their convenience of time - email responses weren’t particularly helpful so we had to repeat or chase for a few times - upon checkin, they informed that the breakfast is USD 30, to which we referred to our booking including breakfast.. otherwise we would’ve been charged unnoticed Nevertheless, we had a really good deal on hotels.com so it was still good for value. The environment is so peaceful and serene, the room was comfortable and their safari guides were professional.
Shinohara, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place is a RIP OFF. Breakfast was $60.00. What a joke! It did have some animals at the watering hole, I guess cos they don’t need wallets. I booked it through Expedia and they thought it was hotels.com This is why I paid for breakfast I think. Expedia included breakfast. Basically they just want your money and don’t care how they get it. Zimbabwe barge in US dollars and don’t have change, it’s so poor that street people are rife. Very Sad. In conclusion, done use this place and go to Botswana, SUCH a different attitude and you will save 10 fold. This of course is without presiding e and my opinion only! Good luck travelers 😀

Experience Safari Lodge 1 night stay

We only stayed at this lodge for one night. We drove up from Bulawayo and found the sign for the lodge quite easily. Parking is onsite but isn't watched, and out in the open. Lodge is slightly outdated. Our front door knob of room 245 could be replaced. Also the bathroom wasn't quite clean and could use a refurbish. We had a household of ants walking in our room that came through the bathroom tiles. No safe inside the room. The phone wasn't working. Also the mosquito net had plenty of holes in them. Meal we had at the buffet was nice but pricey at 25 dollars. Staff was amazing though. We arrived two hours early but our room was ready for us. Friendly and helpful. The rooms look out on a watering hole where you can find all types of animals walking in and out daily. Seats are locating inside the room so you can sit and watch. It was nice and quiet inside the room even though we saw they were doing maintenance just a few rooms ahead of us.

Good pool, good service.. Older style bathroom. We organized a taxi driver from Vic Falls to stay with a friend in Hwange for two nights to get us there and back (US$250). Maybe they could organize a bus transfer there and back. Morning and evening 3hour safari tours were good.

From start to finish this trip was outstanding! I emailed the lodge months in advance to arrange multiple trips and the staff were always eager to make it the best stay. Over email they told me they will arrange the trips I want to do with the days Im staying. So sweet!! I also requested an anniversary dinner to be set up, they told me to leave it with them. Coming up to the dinner I was nervous because no one had said anything about it! Well I was just as surprised as my partner! The effort that went into this dinner was just breathtaking. The manager arranged our table to be secluded at the pool with loads of candles surrounding, also right beside the fence which meant the elephants were so close while eating our dinner! AMAZING. Not only was the set up of our dinner breathtaking as it was, the waiter we had specifically for our table was brilliant as well! I can actually say he was the best waiter I have seen throughout Victoria Falls and Hwange! so well done. AND to top it all off, the lodge gave us a bottle of champagne on the house! No words, seriously. The really done a fantastic job!! The lodge also provide game drives into Hwange national park so you can see the BIG 5! We went on a game drive throughout the day and thought it was great. The guide stops off and gives you drinks and snacks so you don't have to bring your own. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous as well with an amazing view overlooking a waterhole so you can see a rangeof animals coming to drink
