Hwange Safari Lodge, experience our newly refurbished hotel – where every guest will Feel Special.

We are pleased to announce that the highly anticipated restoration and full refurbishment of the iconic Hwange Safari Lodge has been successfully completed! After commencing work on the exterior and public areas in March, our dedicated team has transformed the lodge into a stunning destination, ready to welcome guests. This extensive refurbishment has revitalized the lodge, enhancing its charm and comfort while maintaining the unique safari experience that our visitors have always cherished.

The lodge now proudly features 99 rooms, including 85 Deluxe Rooms, 10 Deluxe Suites, and 4 Executive Suites. Each room type provides stunning views of the grasslands and nearby waterhole, where guests can often spot impala, wildebeest, zebra, buffalo and elephants quenching their thirst. All Deluxe Rooms include a comfortable bed, with mosquito net and air conditioning, work desk, television, and a cozy seating area. In contrast, the Deluxe Suites offer a more spacious layout with an additional lounge area. The Executive Suites truly cater to business travelers, honeymooners, and VIP guests, featuring a separate bedroom and a generous lounge that doubles as a dining area. The Executive Suites also offer a larger bathroom equipped with a luxurious bathtub and shower.

The atrium, restrooms, bar, restaurant and reception area have been redesigned to create a cohesive and immersive experience for guests from their arrival until departure. Every space within the lodge now reflects the enchanting spirit of Hwange, seamlessly connecting guests with the breathtaking natural splendor that surrounds them.

As part of African Sun, the lodge is committed to the new brand promise with its commitment to making each and every guest “Feel Special – every stay, every time. The refurbishment also includes a modern gym and spa, a first in the lodge’s 50 year history. This addition will cater to the growing demand for wellness experiences during safari get aways, providing guests with a tranquil oasis to unwind and rejuvenate after a day of exploring the wild.

African Sun CEO Laurie Ward said, “We are incredibly proud to unveil the new generation Hwange Safari Lodge”. This significant investment reflects African Sun’s dedication to uplifting its properties and providing its guests with unforgettable experiences. The lodge now offers the perfect blend of safari and comfort, setting the stage for unforgettable memories and experiences in the heart of one of Africa’s most precious wildernesses.”

The completion of the refurbishment has further solidified Hwange Safari Lodge’s position as a preferred destination in Zimbabwe’s hospitality landscape.
