Remote, wild, and exclusive—Jozibanini Camp is a cherished 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 Jozi experience is ideal as a three-night add-on to one of our 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. The luxury of simplicity is what Jozi is about—immersed in nature, tented accommodation with a ‘star bed’ option, and dining al fresco round the campfire.
