Selected entries from the current guide for Zimbabwe.
Mana Pools Region, Zimbabwe
Tembo Plains Camp sits in Zimbabwe's Mana Pools region, one of southern Africa's most carefully protected wilderness corridors, where the Zambezi River sets the pace and large-canvas suites frame an uninterrupted bush horizon. Chef Zamani Sibelo leads the kitchen with an African cuisine focus that reflects the region's larder and traditions. Holding, it draws travellers serious about both wildlife and the table.

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Set along a private nine-mile stretch of the Zambezi River inside the 136,000-acre Matetsi Private Game Reserve, this family-owned lodge earned 95.5 points in the 2026 La Liste Top Hotels ranking. Eighteen standalone suites and a four-bedroom villa face the river directly, staffed by an almost entirely Zimbabwean team. The reserve sits 25 miles upriver from Victoria Falls, within a UNESCO-protected destination.
Chiredzi, Zimbabwe
On a sandstone ridge above Malilangwe Dam in Zimbabwe's remote southeast, Singita Pamushana Lodge offers nine suites and a five-bedroom villa across 130,000 acres of private wilderness. Scored 90.5 points in the La Liste Top Hotels 2026 ranking, the lodge anchors itself in conservation-led safari with black rhino tracking, rock art excursions, and a culinary program drawing on local and organic sourcing.
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Positioned on the edge of Zimbabwe's most storied wilderness, Anantara Stanley & Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel enters the Virtuoso Preview Program as a boutique African retreat with Big Five access and design that references the colonial-era explorers for whom it is named.
Hwange, Zimbabwe
Somalisa Camp sits on a private concession inside Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe's largest wildlife reserve, and has built its reputation on a single, repeatable phenomenon: elephants drinking from the camp's waterhole within metres of seated guests. The format is intimate by design, placing guests inside the natural rhythm of the park rather than at a remove from it.
Mana Pools Region, Zimbabwe
Set inside the Sapi Private Reserve on the Zambezi escarpment, Tembo Plains Camp operates at the quieter, more exclusive end of Zimbabwe's safari circuit. Large canvas suites, a private swimming pool, and direct access to Mana Pools-adjacent wilderness place it firmly in the specialist, low-volume tier.
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
One of southern Africa's great colonial-era railway hotels, The Victoria Falls Hotel has occupied the same refined terrace above the Zambezi gorge since 1904. Its Edwardian architecture, colonnaded verandas, and direct sightlines to the spray cloud of Mosi-oa-Tunya place it in a category alongside the continent's most historically significant luxury addresses. Michelin Selected in 2025, it remains the structural anchor of the Victoria Falls hotel scene.
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
The first private game lodge built inside Zambezi National Park, Victoria Falls River Lodge places 13 tented suites on the banks of the Zambezi River and adds six Island Treehouse Suites in the treetop canopy of private Kandahar Island. The spray of Victoria Falls is visible from the property. This is among the more site-specific safari lodges in Zimbabwe's western corridor.
Hwange, Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe's 2025 World Travel Awards winner for Leading Tented Safari Camp, Wilderness Little Makalolo sits inside Hwange National Park on a private concession within one of southern Africa's largest elephant habitats. The camp operates at low capacity, placing it firmly in the specialist-tier of southern African safari properties where proximity to wildlife, guiding depth, and spatial design do the heavy editorial work.
Mana Pools Region, Zimbabwe
Named Zimbabwe's Leading Safari Lodge at the 2025 World Travel Awards, Wilderness Ruckomechi occupies among the more remote stretches of Mana Pools National Park, where the Zambezi floodplain meets dense riverine forest. The camp's architecture works with the terrain rather than against it, placing guests directly inside the rhythms of one of Africa's least-crowded UNESCO World Heritage ecosystems.
