Next Camp

 

Giraffe Springs is one of the few camps located in a private area within Hwange National Park. These few private camps have breathed new life and freshness into the Hwange experience for guests who are looking for that special, more isolated wildlife experience. Access into the camp is by air, so our guest get a "bird's-eye view" of the park and the Giraffe Springs area on the way in. The camp is situated south~west of Main Camp and south~south~east of Sinamatella Camp. Giraffe Springs overlooks one of the park's large pans and waterholes, which usually holds rain water naturally for most of the year. When the waterhole dries up, we pump water to help the animal survive the long dry winter season. This ensures that there is great animal activity in front of the camp. Game viewing starts right in front of your room.

Accomodation


Ten large tented rooms, each with its own en suite bathroom and private viewing platform, overlook the plains and the waterhole in front of the camp. Each of these tented rooms is large and airy with wonderful views. You can lie in your bed and look out onto the surrounding plains to watch the passing animal parade. Each room also has its own outdoor raised viewing platform so guests can enjoy game viewing from their rooms during the quieter midday "sietsa" hours. The main living area is under cool thatch and includes a dining room, a lounge, an indoor and an outdoor raised game viewing platform and a small plunge pool.

Activities and wildlife


Hwange is big game country. Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Buffalo and all the plains game are regularly seen close to camp. Two of the area's "specials" include Roan and Sable Antelope ~ possibly the most beautiful of all the antelope. Rhino are sometimes seen. Game drives are enjoyed in open 4x4 Land Rovers. Walks with an armed and licensed guide are part of the Giraffe Springs experience ~ coupled with visits to hides so that guests are able to enjoy close~up game viewing.
