Zimbabwe
Map

Zimbabwe has an enormous variety of safari-based accommodations ranging from world class hotels to permanent lodges to traditional tented camps to very basic campsites. 

• The standard of safari lodges in Zimbabwe is exceptionally high and compares favourably with the best elsewhere in the region. 
• Most lodges accommodate 16 and fewer guests with some of the small seasonal camps assuring a high degree of exclusivity with only 4 beds.

With few exceptions, permanent lodges are located on boundaries of the National Parks or on private concessions - seasonal tented camps are found within the parks themselves.
