⭐️⭐️After four years of meticulous planning and passionate dedication and craftsmanship, we are thrilled to announce the newest addition to our safari camp portfolio - Zingweni Vlei! ⭐️⭐️

Nestled in the heart of Hwange National Park, it offers an unparalleled blend of handcrafted luxury and authentic African charm. Designed to evoke the timeless romance of vintage safaris, the camp offers a tranquil escape from the noise of the modern world.

Relax in spacious bedroom tents under the shade of teak and umtshibi trees. Hand crafted teak furnishings, soft linens, and custom light fixtures bring artistry and elegance to every detail, while large windows invite the sights and sounds of the African bush into your private retreat.

From our rooftop wildlife viewing deck nestled in the tree canopy to our cozy campfire area, every corner of Zingweni Vlei is designed for connection—to nature and to each other. Enjoy breathtaking views and unforgettable moments in our classic lounge or on rooftop deck.

Our camp is a gateway to incredible wildlife encounters. With elephants, lions, and diverse species frequenting the lush water pans, Zingweni Vlei promises an experience rooted in the rhythm of the African wilderness!

Contact us today to reserve your spot at Zingweni Vlei, where luxury meets the soul of Africa.
