Summary: I had a fantastic time at Gwengo. The locations unbeatable, perhaps 5 minutes drive from the entrance gate of Hwange. The communications with them were already excellent even before my arrival. The staff answered all my questions promptly. The resort itself is well maintained and well staffed. In one area it has a terrace with a swimming pool, where you can chill and watch animals pass by. The room is clean and tastefully decorated. Restaurants serve all meals. Try their croc tail! Overall, this is an upscale property priced at a mid range, with superb value. The best part of my stay was the hospitality by the staff members. Keith at the reception helped me throughout my stay. All servers for dinner and breakfast were courteous and friendly. At the end of my stay, the manager also gave me a ride to the closest junction to catch a bus. My only regret is that my stay was too short. Hwange is a great park. Next time I will stay here longer.

Summary: Extremely friendly staff, slightly disappointed on game drives, didn’t see the large buffalo herds. We found out when we were leaving they moved into a private concession had we known that we would have taken a drive there one day. Overall was very nice

Summary: Hwange was wonderful. The lodge is on the more rustic side, but it is super nice. The beds are comfortable. Everything is clean. The showers can be temperamental, but there is plenty of hot water (my brother struggled with the shower in their room and to be fair, the showers did a bit of alternating between hot and cold occasionally). The only complaint might be that the walls are thin. But our group took up the whole section where we were so we weren’t bothering anyone else and no one else could hear us. The food was very good, though there were some menu items which they were out of. Most importantly, the staff were super accommodating. They pulled out the green laser and turned off some lights for us to have a better look at the stars. And Brighton gave the best game drive ever. He knew the animals, the birds, the trees… it was like having a science professor driving the truck.

Summary: Elephants drinking from pool were a highlight. Some nicities were missing e.g. soap in communal toilets, hand towels and washcloths in the room, napkins in dining room, formed paths to the rooms

Summary: Where do I start?! We stayed for 4 nights and it was just amazing. Every single person was so lovely and kind. Seeing elephants drink from the pool is something I'll remember for the rest of my life. Mahko took us on 3 game drives and his knowledge of the park and the animals is on another level, he's an asset to the lodge. The only negative I have is that we couldn't stay longer than 4 nights. I honestly considered feeding my passport to the elephants so I could stay. The lodges were spacious and lovely, beds so comfy. House keeping come in daily with fresh towels and to make the bed. The managers of the resort were also lovely people, so friendly and welcoming. I fell in love with hwange and without a doubt we will be back. If I could give it 10 stars I would.. I'd live there if I could! I thoroughly enjoyed being stuck at the bar because elephants were blocking the way to our room! Also, chef and the food are top notch too. I honestly can't speak highly enough of the place.

Summary: Rooms are nice and are well appointed and staff very friendly. Limited menu for meals but the chef was great to work with on suggestions. Elephants come to drink from the water hole and the pool. East to find in Hwange.
