Matopo Ingwe Lodge
8.5 (4 reviews)

Matopo Ingwe Lodge ★★★

📍 Gladstone Farm, Matobo

"Although taking bookings the lodge had a closed feel about it, and an air of dilapidation. Pool was shut then when told it was working it was filthy and had not been filtered. Set menu for dinner for 20dollars USD, half of which was unavailable and when arrived was very poor, as was breakfast. "

Matobo Hills Lodge ★★★

📍 Matobo National Park Campsite, Matobo National Park, Matobo

"Very friendly staff and excellent food! Dinner and breakfast were on point, and the best meals we have had so far on this 10 day trip! We were here for just one night on our travels, I wish we could have stayed longer to do more exploring. Very clean, no AC so summer night did get a little warm but the views are unbeatable!"

Big Cave Camp
9.2 (4 reviews)

Big Cave Camp ★★★

📍 46km peg along, the Kezi Road, Matopos

"Big Cave is uniquely nested into a hillside with an expansive view of the landscape below. Be forewarned the lodge’s remoteness brings challenges. Wifi is only available in the reception/dining area and lags when multiple guests are logged in. There’s no power late at night so charge your electronic devices early. It’s worth packing a flashlight for the occasional power outage. Walkways between cottages are not paved, a bit of a challenge for the mobility impaired like myself. After running the shower for over ten minutes one evening - not good conservation protocol - I still could not get any hot water. I ended up taking a sponge bath with water heated from the electric kettle. More exasperating was a glaring lapse by the housekeeping staff. Despite repeated reassurances of overnight laundry service, I even confirmed this with the manager, I received my clothing the next morning, neatly folded but UNWASHED. Overall, my stay was memorable for all the wrong reasons."

Amalinda Lodge ★★★★

📍 matopos, Matopos, Matobo

"With a stunning setting among the kopjes and bush, we had a delightful stay at Amalinda. The team were very welcoming, from Harold who picked us up from the airport, to the welcome from Angela and Brightwell and our excellent guide Kevin. The lodge is charming, with a beautiful swimming pool and bar area, great evening fire place and charming dining room. Excellent meals and service. Thanks so much team."

Matopo Ingwe Lodge ★★★
"Friendly efficient reception. Clean comfortable accommodation and beautiful views from the restaurant patio, where we had drinks. Dinner was delicious and expertly served by Yolanda. We were served a packed breakfast for our early journey onwards. A great stay for visiting the magnificent Matopos!"

Matobo Hills Lodge ★★★
"I stayed at this lodge several times in the 1990s and took many friends and family there, it was always my favourite in whole of Zim, we all thought it was wonderful. I have just revisited this most perfectly situated lodge with simple but beautiful accomodation and facilities. The staff were welcoming and friendly. But, oh dear, what has happened to the maintenance and restauration ? Much more needs to be done, especially to bathroom tiling and fittings and some bedroom furnishings, and the pool looked very uninviting. As for the meals, stodgy, too much on the plate, lacking in imaginative preparation and presentation. Such a pity ! I still loved it, but it can’t compete with it’s neighbours in Matopos like that."

Big Cave Camp ★★★
"Fantastic except that the management allows overlanders camping at the campsite the free run of the lodge area. They monopolize the pool, talk on speakerphone, video chat as if in a hotel lobby rather than a safari camp. Supposedly the policy that they are only allowed to use the lodge when there are no guests, but this was not enforced even after we complained numerous times. Finally they were asked to leave, but only after a 24 hour “occupation”. Owners need to decide what kind of place they are running"

Amalinda Lodge ★★★★
"We had an incredible stay here. Our only regret is that we could not be here longer. Billy knew that I had a special interest in rock art, and he was able to give us room 8, which has its own pictograph in the room. The rooms are built into the natural rocks, so every place in the lodge was beautiful. Our guide Edward went beyond the call of duty to make sure we could see a lot in a short period of time. During the first evening he took us to watch an incredible sunset from a rocky hill, and took us to see a granary that had been used during an uprising against colonialism in the 1890s. Both the rock art and the rocks he showed us in the park were incredible, worthy of its world heritage status. There were white rhinos — but I also should mention the zonkey at the lodge. I appreciate that the lodge works with the community through a nonprofit. If you stay here you should expect ti walk up and down steps, but the exercise is great after all the fine meals. The staff were all very attentive and made sure the stay was memorable. ."
