Jozibanini Camp, Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe
A Tented Camp in Zimbabwe
Camp Details
Remote, wild, and exclusive — Jozibanini Camp is a cherished spot for adventure seekers and seasoned safari goers alike. Situated in one of the most southern and pristine areas of Hwange National Park, this small, private camp is a safe and comfortable home base for a unique and untamed wilderness experience. The Jozi experience is ideal as a three-night add-on to one of our other camps in Hwange. Activities range from up-close-and-personal encounters with large herds of elephants to mountain biking and walking along wildlife footpaths. The luxury of simplicity is what Jozi is about—immersed in nature, tented accommodation with a ‘star bed’ option, and dining al fresco round the campfire. WHY CHOOSE JOZIBANINI CAMP?
- 6 hour by 4WD from Bomani, Camelthorn or Nehimba; this is an extended game drive with picnic on the way and not a standard transfer, usually incorporated into one of Imvelo’s signature pump runs.
- Currently the nearest airstrip is Manga or Libuti Airstrip (up to a 3 hour game drive from camp).
- Guest accommodation overlooks Jozibanini Pan; dining is informal ‘fly camp style’ out under the stars.
- Open-topped verandah wide enough to take a bed out for nights under the stars.
Jozibanini Camp questions
How do you actually get there?
It is a six-hour drive by 4WD from Bomani, Camelthorn or Nehimba, but treated as an extended game drive with a picnic on the way rather than a transfer, usually built into one of Imvelo's pump runs. The nearest airstrip is currently Somalisa near Manga 3, a three-hour game drive away.
Can you sleep out under the stars?
The verandah is open-topped and wide enough to take a bed outside, which is the star bed option. Dining is informal fly-camp style around the fire, and the accommodation overlooks Jozibanini Pan. The camp is small, private and deliberately simple.
How long should we stay?
The camp works best as a three-night add-on to one of the other Hwange camps rather than as a whole trip. Activities range from close elephant encounters to mountain biking and walking along wildlife footpaths. Rates start from US$355 per person per night.
