Umfurudzi Park, Zimbabwe

Hippo Pools Wilderness Camp is tranquil and charming, located in the historic Umfurudzi National Park on the banks of the Mazowe River. This National Park is home to a diverse variety of wildlife, bird, plant and tree species. The river is teeming with all the fish species you like to catch and the activities available include horseback riding, nature walks, mountain bike riding and canoeing, among others. The story of the Hippo Pools Trust is an inspiring one that puts our motto, “People and Wildlife Together,” into action. This trust helps rural communities in Zimbabwe live in harmony with wildlife to benefit the people and the animals.

The newly refurbished restaurant serves up tasty meals in an alfresco setting surrounded by the breathtaking beauty and the sounds of the African bush.
