Vintage camp Hwange, situated in the Painted Dog private concession, is one of the most unique places to stay in Hwange and is one of the first donor funding camps in Zimbabwe. A percentage of each guests payment is directly donated towards the Painted Dog Conservation projects.
A cosy lookout deck anchored around the girth of a huge teak tree, overlooks the water pan in front. A great vantage point for game viewing and photo opportunities, from where we regularly see lion, elephant, kudu, sable and many more wildlife species. From here you can enjoy the panoramic scenery and passing wildlife.
From US$ 956 per person sharing. INCLUDES: all meals/drinks/activities/return transfer from Vic Falls. EXCLUDES: park fees and fares into Vic Falls.
Vintage Camp in Hwange National Park offers 4 vintage style tents with twin or double beds. Each tent has its own en-suite shower with loo, bush shower (hot and cold) and hand basin – in true vintage camp style.
The dining tent is au-naturel, flowing out to nature all around. The fire pit is where evening nightcaps and recounted folktales drift into the night accompanied by the gentle crackling of flames. All meals in the secluded Hwange National Park Camp are freshly prepared in camp and dining al fresco out in the bush with picnic brunch or lunch, or an evening moonlit dinner, really enhances your Vintage African Safari.
Vintage Camp is situated on the Painted Dog Conservancy, bordering Hwange National Park. You can experience many activities at Vintage Camp.
Guided walking safaris with a professional guide in the concession area will let you experience a safari on foot. You will be treated to a bush education on flora and fauna and how nature works together. You may see some big game such as elephant, buffalo and many plains game. You may be lucky enough to spot some of the cats such as lion and leopard on occasion.
Horseback Safaris are either half day or full day. There is also a three night round trip option where you will be guided by professional guides through the concession area. Many wild animals are less afraid of horses than humans on foot. This allows you to have an up close and personal experience with the numerous plains game species in the area.
Game drives in the concession or in Hwange National Park are conducted in open game viewing vehicles, by experienced guides. They will be able to explain all you need to know about the surrounding flora and fauna.
A visit to the Painted Dog Centre is a must. The PDC is a rehabilitation centre with an extremely interesting museum where you will learn all about this beautiful endangered species.
