Inside the park
Park-run (Gonarezhou Conservation Trust)
The Trust's flagship camp, on the Runde directly opposite the park's famous 180-metre sandstone cliffs. Six en-suite Meru tents with a camp attendant and chef, so it is catered comfort in a genuinely remote setting. Water is untreated borehole supply, so bring your own drinking water.
Why you'd pick it
- The Chilojo Cliffs fill the view across the river
- In-house chef, so you bring food and they do the rest
- Chest freezer, fridge and charging point in deep wilderness

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Gonarezhou National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryThe rate for guests staying in a park camp.
- $15per person, per day
- VehicleRoughly $5 to $10 a day depending on the vehicle.
- $8per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $114 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
Sleeping inside the boundary is what keeps that low. $15 if you sleep in a park camp, against $25 a day for anyone driving in from outside.

Rates are the Gonarezhou Conservation Trust's own published figures and operators' rate cards, gathered July 2026, quoted Local / SADC / International where the Trust publishes all three tiers. Accommodation rates generally exclude the daily conservation fee; confirm the total with the Trust when you book. Two names you may still find elsewhere, Mahenye Lodge and Senuko, could not be verified as currently operating: their websites no longer resolve and neither appears on any current operator list.
