HOTEL OVERVIEW

Robins Camp, situated in the rugged Basalt area, which is rich in natural water with seeps and springs dotting the area, is one of the few safari camps in the northwestern section of Hwange National Park. This area is home to some of the last great buffalo herds in Africa, with herds of over 1000 still seen. Given the abundance of prey animals, it is no wonder that it also has the highest concentration of lion in the Park. Robins is also known for big populations of reedbuck, roan, and sable as well as the usual herds of elephants and other species encountered in the Park. Particularly encouraging are the regular sightings of both cheetah and African wild dog. The scenery of Robins is varied with hills, kopjes (small bouldered hills), and vlei (grassed plains that flood seasonally) areas and has a lot to offer the wildlife enthusiast.

Getting to Robins Camp is a quick 20-minute flight, or a 2-hour drive from Victoria Falls. From Bulawayo, it is a 430km drive or about an hour's flight.

The chalets at Robins Camp have been decorated inside and out by local designers with hand-painted Matabele designs, and using recycled products and fabrics. Each of them has an en-suite bathroom with hot and cold water and high-pressure showers, an overhead fan for hot Hwange days, and a mosquito net. The chalets can be configured to suite your needs as king or twin units.

The Acacia chalets are in the western section of Robins camp, and consist of 18 thatched units. Eight of the Acacia rooms form a laager around a central lapa area that is a wonderful spot to relax and chat with friends. These Acacia chalets are great for private groups of up to 40 guests, and three of them are actually triple units - suitable for family stays.

The other 18 chalets are the Mopane units which are in the eastern portion of Robins Camp. These are more contemporary in design and only two units are under thatch - the rest have cromadek roofing. Each of the Mopane units has a covered veranda where you may sit and enjoy watching the birds, squirrels, and mongooses.

The facilities at Robins camp situated in the central guest area include a semi-open restaurant, which offers a full continental and cooked breakfast service as well as an à la carte and buffet lunch. The dinner service at the restaurant is a set 3-course buffet. Also outside the covered restaurant is a spacious garden with seating for those who want to enjoy their meals al fresco. All dietary requirements can be catered for. There is a coffee, tea, and juice station at your disposal throughout the day with something sweet served every late afternoon. The viewpoint above the restaurant is a nice spot for drinks while you take in the vista or just want a quiet beverage.

In the area in front of the restaurant is the swimming pool, also a great place to cool down with your drinks under the shade. The swimming pool is crisp and crystal clear, no better way to beat the African heat.

The Hyena Bar is great for those evening catch-ups after a day of game viewing. The bar is not open to guests under the age of 18.

Most campsites have their own dedicated 220V power supply.
