Jozibanini Camp

A semi-desert wilderness safari adventure
Hwange National ParkZimbabwe· 3 Rooms · $$

A remote camp deep in the African bush

Jozibanini offers unique safari experiences such as mountain bike exploration, wildlife viewing from an underground hide and sleeping under the stars.

Located in the south west of Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park, Jozibanini Camp is situated in a semi-desert environment, not unlike the Kalahari. The area has been virtually untouched by human activity for nearly twenty years, and as such, provides a genuine, untamed wilderness experience for guests. The camp is quite remote and accessed by a six hour long road transfer, with frequent stops in order to resupply waterholes on the journey. Jozibanini is a seasonal camp and is closed between 1st January – 15th April and 1st November – 28th February.

Accommodation includes tents elevated on wooden decks, located under shady Camelthorn and Shepherds Bush trees, overlooking the Jozibanini pan. There is a choice between double or twin beds and all the tents have en-suite flush toilets and bucket showers. Each room also has a spacious veranda outside, and guests can choose to have their beds moved outside and sleep under the African sky. Main areas include an outside dining area, where meals are eaten under the stars.

Jozibanini is a private concession, and activities include daily game drives with an experienced guide, or alternatively you can head out on foot on a bushwalk. Due to the nature of the terrain, the surrounding areas can also be explored by mountain bikes, a fun activity and a unique way of seeing the African wilderness. Jozibanini also possesses an underground hide which guests can visit. The hide provides fantastic views of the local wildlife and can be visited both during the daytime and after nightfall, where the animals are seen by the light of the moon.

January

January is an excellent time to head out with expert guides and view resident and migratory bird species. The days are warm, with the risk of rain, this clears very fast as it arrives.

February

February is the best time for birders. The days are warm, with the risk of afternoon rain showers, but they clear as fast as they arrive.

March

If you want to witness Vic Falls at its fullest, March is the month to visit, with huge volumes of spray, it is perfect if you want to see the gorges and geology of the area.

April

The world famous Mana Pools re-open in April. The days feel fresher as the wet season ends leaving the landscapes looking lush green, making it perfect for walking safaris.

May

In May, the days continue to feel fresh and bright making it a perfect time to venture out on walking safaris.

June

June heralds the return of winter, nights turn colder and the temperature dips - take plenty of layers as the temperature can drop below freezing. It is the perfect time for photographers to explore Hwange National Park before the busy holiday period.

July

Winter temperatures continue into July so take plenty of layers. Much like June, it is perfect for photographers looking to view wildlife from a different angle.

August

If you want clear, bright blue skies and continuous wildlife sightings, August is the month for you. Camps are likely to be fuller, however, if you visit private concessions you can still experience exclusivity and no crowds.

September

Much like August, September is an amazing time for wildlife spotting and weather, in particular it is considered the best time of year to see elephant herds in Hwange National Park.

October

In October wildlife sightings are at their peak as the dry season ends. If you travel during this month you can experience hot days with temperatures soaring up to 40 degrees.

November

November is the best time to head out with expert guides and view resident and migratory bird species. The days are warm, with the risk of rain, this clears very fast as it arrives. It is low season and one of the best times to go white water rafting at Vic Falls, the volume and speed of the water is reduced exposing the rapids.

December

In December the days are warm with the risk of rain showers mid afternoon. The rivers rise and dependant on water levels travellers can visit 'devils pool' at Vic Falls, providing high excitement and a head for heights needed if you want to get close to the drop off.
