BUMBUSI WILDERNESS CAMP
A reclaimed safari camp tucked beneath a lush grove of giant Mahogany trees in Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park
Bumbusi Wilderness Camp is nestled in an oasis of mature trees and shade which, bolstered by the waterhole and natural pool, makes for a wildlife magnet, especially in the dry season. The stone and thatch chalets all look out onto the lawns and water and compliment the incredible geology of this reclaimed wilderness. Expect hot soaking showers, a cool pool to soak in after a beautiful walking safari, cosy beds and great coffee and meals around the fire! A true safari experience.
Many people struggle to find safari camps that are unique and private. Bumbusi Wilderness Camp’s historical ruins site and secluded game viewing offers guests the chance to experience a Zimbabwean safari with a difference! The camp offers an exceptionally unique experience in a reclaimed corner of Hwange National Park where the various gorges, drainage lines and hills are perfect for safari lovers who like to explore a region on foot. The shady oasis of camp acts like a magnet for wildlife, especially the elephant as the season gets drier which makes for incredible game viewing. Added to the walking and game drive experience, the Bumbusi National Monument adds a beautiful richness to any safari and is located a short drive from camp.
Highlights from Bumbusi Wilderness Camp include:
REMOTE, YET ACCESSIBLE.
The location is unusual in that it offers a really remote camp that is still easily accessed from Victoria Falls.
AN EVERGREEN CAMP OASIS.
Unlike most of the drier sandveld Hwange based camps, Bumbusi is always an oasis, thanks to the evergreen trees and perennial springs.
EXCEPTIONAL WILDLIFE.
Quality game viewing in a secluded area ensuring you don’t need to share sightings with other camps!
