Warthogs Safari Camp

Staff and owners are awesome. The amount of wildlife is n the area is great incredible. Will absolutely return.

A really warm welcome from Louisa and Wayne who run the camp, and all the staff set the scene for a good four-day stay in a camper van. There are panoramic views of Lake Kariba from the bar and (small) swimming pool area. Delicious food is available. The ablution blocks are excellent. Lots of wild animals, including elephants and zebra come through the campsite. Hippos (and crocodiles) are 200 metres away in Lake Kariba.

The service was good and would recommend someone to visit this place

I can't recommend Warthogs enough. Idyllic is the first word that comes to mind. Took quite a different kind of a trip from my last time out, and stayed only a night with 10 friends and family. We enjoyed amazing hospitality. We were going to go on a houseboat the following day and on disembarking from our bus, staff were quickly organised to take our load of luggage and supplies to our tents, and some cold storage was organised for some of our drinks. The tents were as clean as I remembered them from a year earlier. The Zebras happily grazed right by the tents, and from the bar, looking out at the floodplain at dusk we were thrilled to see the hippos coming out to feed. We enjoyed a decent dinner, though it took time to prepare. We were impressed that all the food was served hot. Pizza crusts were rather tough, but tasty. The bar was well-stocked and inviting. We enjoyed a beautiful sunrise in the morning and saw waterbuck, a yellow-billed stork, a marabou stork flew overhead, a lilac-breasted roller pearched in a nearby tree, and many other lovely birds. Breakfast was a treat. When it was time to leave, the staff were again on hand to help us pack our stuff onto the bus. Everyone was super impressed by Warthogs and its beauty, and just as last year, we left with a promise to come back another time that we have every intention to fulfill! Great work, Lou and Barbs! See you again soon!

I stayed at Warthogs for three nights and it was unbelievable. The tent was perfect, comfortable bed and furnishings and a great patio in front that faces the hippos that came one night. Elephants and other wildlife roam through the camp all day and night, as the owners say, we are visitors in their land, and it’s amazing to be in their land and near them. The restaurant food was great, staff were all very friendly, especially the owners of the camp, they are both wonderful, caring people! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Attached pictures show the elephants that came to visit at the pool and zebras that came at night. Truly amazing. I can’t wait to go back.

I was travelling as part of a group of 8. We had just got off the over night ferry, along the kariba dam, and were spending a night a warthogs before heading on. We were treated by the very friendly staff and made to feel like part of the family. Babs took us to view our accommodation and they had gone to extra lengths to accommodate our group by converting the beauty room into extra, well appointed, bedrooms. They really couldn’t have done more. One of our party was having problems with their hire campers battery and camping fridge. Goat was straight in there to help and reassure them that the system was working and going over how the solar worked. All the facilities were lovely and clean and the bar was fully stocked. Would highly recommend Thanks all at Warthogs
