High-end
Inside the park
Park-run (Gonarezhou Conservation Trust)
Chilojo Bush Camp's sister property out on the Runde floodplain, where nearby pans do the work of pulling wildlife past camp. The same six-tent, chef-and-attendant formula, and the same rule applies: bring your own drinking water, the borehole supply is untreated.
Why you'd pick it
- Natural pans on the floodplain draw game to camp
- Identical comfort and service to its sister camp at Chilojo
- Six vehicles maximum, so it never feels busy
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.
