Jozibanini Lodge

Jozibanini Lodge

Hwange

Remote and wild, the camp is an ideal spot for adventure seekers and seasoned safari goers alike. Situated in one of the most southern and pristine areas of Hwange National Park, this small, private camp is a safe and comfortable home base for a unique and untamed wilderness experience. 

The camp has no power, wifi, or mobile phone service, this remote location is the best form of digital detox. Days start and end around the campfire, all meals are enjoyed outside, and the creative camp chefs cook up tasty treats over an open fire

Three tents are set up as twins—Two ¾ beds and an ensuite open air bathroom with toilet and bucket shower. There are two tents are set up as doubles—One double bed and an ensuite open air bathroom with bucket shower.

The Jozi experience is ideal as a three-night add-on to one of the other camps in Hwange. Activities range from up-close-and-personal encounters with large herds of elephants to mountain biking and walking along wildlife footpaths. 

While we have awarded tented lodge with only 2 "tents", the luxury of simplicity is what Jozi is about; tented accommodation with a ‘star bed’ option, and dining al fresco around the campfire, as close to nature as you can get.

Please note this camp may be closed between December and April, depending on the weather. Please check with us for availability during these months.

Shultz. Keekorok means ‘place of black trees’ in the local Maasai language and is in an area with plenty of wildlife. At any time of year, the surrounding landscape is teeming with wildlife, including all the ‘Big 5’ and mover 400 species of bird.

Sitting on the banks of the Talek river it has been built to blend in with the natural surroundings. It’s conveniently located for going out on game drives and in between adventures there’s a lovely pool area to relax in.

The lodge is located on the shores of Lake Naivasha in the Rift Valley, one of two freshwater lakes, the other being Lake Baringo. Sitting on 120 acres with acacia trees, giraffes, and vervet monkeys wandering freely in the gardens, the lodge feels like its own little paradise. At nighttime, the hippos come to graze on the grass which keeps it nice and trimmed! You’re a little over an hour by road from Nairobi and this is a great spot to unwind after travel and before you commence your safari adventures. The rooms are comfortable with ceiling fans, tea and coffee-making facilities, room safe and either a balcony or terrace. There’s also a restaurant, bar swimming pool and a tennis court. Activities include nature walks, bird watching, cycling, and day trips to Cresent Island can be arranged. With over 1,500 hippos in the area, you are almost guaranteed to see one. An interesting historical fact is that in the 1930’s flying boats en route from Durban to London used to make a stop on the lake for refuelling and refreshment, not sure what the ancestors of the hippos and flamingos made of their flying visit! The evenings can be cool here so do take a sweatshirt or light fleece.

How our Tent Ratings work

​

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
