Tucked away in a remote, untouched corner of Hwange National Park, Verney’s Camp is an exclusive safari retreat set within a private 10,000-hectare (24,710-acre) concession in southeastern Zimbabwe. This pristine enclave, surrounded by ancient teak woodlands, opens onto a spectacular natural amphitheatre where a seasonal waterhole draws in the park’s legendary elephant herds, along with a variety of other wildlife.
Verney’s Camp offers an exceptional blend of safari tradition and contemporary luxury. Nestled beneath the shady canopy of mature trees, the eight beautifully appointed safari tents are strategically positioned to provide maximum privacy and uninterrupted views of the floodplain. Each spacious tent features a modern en-suite bathroom, complete with a flush toilet, double vanity, and an indoor safari-style shower. Carefully designed to echo the spirit of classic African safaris, the tents combine canvas, timber, and natural tones to create an atmosphere of refined simplicity and wilderness immersion.
From your private deck, you may witness herds of elephant drinking and wallowing, kudu browsing in the trees, or predators passing quietly through the grasslands—all without ever leaving your suite.
Your stay includes twice-daily guided game drives—early morning and late afternoon departures that reveal the wildlife-rich terrain of Hwange through the eyes of expert rangers. For those seeking a deeper, more intimate understanding of the bush, guided walking safaris are also available, allowing you to connect with the land through its flora, animal tracks, and birdlife.
Whether you are a seasoned safari-goer or on your first African adventure, Verney’s Camp offers the raw beauty of Hwange with the comforts of luxury hospitality, making it a perfect destination for photographers, nature-lovers, and safari romantics alike.
Set in a remote private concession in Hwange National Park, Verney’s Camp offers front-row seats to some of Zimbabwe’s most prolific wildlife encounters.
Expect daily sightings of massive elephant herds, often seen gathering at the waterhole directly in front of camp—an unforgettable experience from the comfort of your tent deck.
Buffalo, giraffe, zebra, kudu, and sable antelope are frequently spotted grazing in the open plains, providing exceptional photographic opportunities.
Predators are a major highlight here, with resident prides of lion, elusive leopards, and highly endangered African wild dogs often seen on game drives or even from camp.
Verney’s private concession ensures low vehicle density, offering a more intimate, exclusive safari experience with minimal interruption from other travelers.
The teak forests and open savanna landscapes attract a rich diversity of birdlife, making it a dream location for birders, especially during the summer migrant season.
For an unforgettable adventure, don’t miss the opportunity to join a thrilling night drive—a safari highlight unique to private concessions like Verney’s Camp. After sundown, the African bush comes alive with the sounds and sights of nocturnal predators and elusive wildlife. Using a spotlight from an open-air 4×4 vehicle, your guide and tracker will help you search for creatures rarely seen during the day, such as leopard, civet, bush babies, owls, and even the elusive aardvark or pangolin.
Night drives not only offer an adrenaline-filled experience but also provide a new perspective on the wilderness, revealing the remarkable behaviors of Hwange’s after-dark ecosystem. Be sure to dress warmly and bring your camera with a low-light setting—you never know when a pair of glowing eyes might appear just beyond the spotlight.
Pro tip: Ask your guide to explain the stars of the southern hemisphere sky—far from city lights, the stargazing at Verney’s Camp is breathtaking.
