The staff waited up for us and followed up on the times we'd be arriving. We were experiencing car trouble and they gave us contacts for carpenters, that was really helpful. Gwango is right outside the national park, such a perfect location. The ride to the place was very smooth. The owner of the place was delightful. The rooms were perfect for the price point. If you're particular about bedding texture and quality, Gwango is the perfect place to for you. It was amazing for a glamping experience. Having a pool on the resort was awesome. The nambya exhibition is to die for. They're doing things right. I didn't wanna leave.

The cicadas get pretty loud, if you have sound sensory issues carry some earplugs.

Gwango Heritage Resort is a magical place where for us everything was perfect: spacious and very clean room with a huge shower cubicle, very friendly staff, delicious food and last but not least, all the animals we saw during our stay there: more than a hundred elephants in one day, a leopard, the African kangaroos, antelopes... Very reliable in organising the transfers and trips. we really enjoyed all the safaris and the visit at the far to learn how they provide fresh food for the guests and the whole concept of supporting local people is amazing One of the highlights was, of course, the elephants drinking water from the swimming pool...

A lovely resort! The facilities all seem very new and impeccably maintained. Rooms are comfy and the beds were superb. All the staff is incredibly attentive and helpful. Cannot recommend their guide services for Game Drives enough. We spent every day touring with Brighton and it was like having a professional naturalist alongside us, not to mention we saw dozens of types of animals. Don’t miss the Painted Dog Preserve about 20 min. away, as well.

Would love to return here someday, but would note some tips: Bring plenty of cash for tips. Can pay for everything else with cards. Meals are very delicious, but the menu is a bit limited and not always fully stocked, might bring personal snacks to supplement. WiFi shouldn’t be counted on this far out, though there is a strong enough signal by the pool for checking messages and emails.

This is a great place to stay. It is much better than what they show on their website. Close to Main Camp Hwange NP. Elephants drinking from the pool, what an experience!! Staff is very friendly, it is clean and well maintained lodge. We will book again.

Just a suggestion, have a look at the portions of food you serve. People will be hungry after a full day of safari. Let the bartender check the pool deck more often, you can sell more drinks. Tourist are lazy and don't want to walk to the bar.

it was a great idea that I chose this option for traveling around Zimbabwe, not through an agency, but by self-booking via booking.com. You can buy a game drive on site, great staff, a place close to nature and the Hwange National Park, it was a great option when traveling around Africa. Elephants came, we had a great time!!! game drive, my heart will stay in Gwango Heritage Resort. The place is very spacious, great rooms, very good food. Special thanks to Mduduzi Safari Guide. We were incredibly lucky to have him as our guide, he is committed and passionate, we felt special thanks to his guidance. Then we were in Chobe and it was commercial there, we were one of many, and thanks to Mduduzi and his work we had a feeling of something special in Hwange. Anyone who has Mduduzi as a guide will really be very happy with any game drive.

Absolutely wonderful lodge, everything is perfect. The elefants come everyday to drink water from the near hole, you can watch them closely. Staff is very helpful, we enjoyed our stay very much. The lodge has perfect location very close to Hwange NP (just 3 km). A perfect wilderness. The room was clean, super comfortable bed and hot water. We definately recommed.

Hello guys, I booked a room at this great resort for 3 days to enjoy Hwange national park and safari. I must mention that the value I received exceeded all expectations! This fantastic hotel is in a great location, a beautiful spacious pastoral hotel with stunning, large and clean rooms in the heart of the bush that gives you an atmosphere that suits the place. The staff here is just awesome and extremely kind and helpful with anything you need! The food is fresh and excellent! The menu is not the biggest, but if you came for 3 days, it is definitely enough. There is a cute pool with bush views and I was lucky enough to see a huge male elephant drinking opposite. There is a place for a bonfire in the middle between the bar and the restaurant and it's nice to sit there in the evening with a bottle of beer. I had a small problem with the flow of hot water in the shower and they immediately fixed it for me and everything you need they immediately fix everything! You have "father and mother" here. I have to thank the manager Paul who arranged it for me and received me nicely and even carried my suitcase up to the room and helped me with everything I asked or ordered. I must thank the nice team: guide Mthabisi, chef Conard, waiter Denzel, bartender Future, waitress Patience, bar manager Witness and all the nice employees. There is no Wifi in the rooms, but only close to the bar and reception. Remember that you did not come to mess with your mobile phone excessively, but you came to enjoy nature and animals and of course freedom. I also recommend a two hour horse ride not far away with the nice Irish Linda. If you are looking for a good and pastoral place in the heart of nature, close to the safari with great staff and good food, this is definitely the place you would want. highly recommend!

Such an amazing place with fantastic, helpful staff! We stayed for 3 nights and did 2 game drives organised by the Lodge. It was such an amazing experience with elephants visiting the lodge & safari so close. Great value for money. Big shout out to Chef Kuda, Immaculate & Ashley for taking care of us! Biggest shout out to our safari guide Mduduzi who guided us to lions, hyenas, giraffes, elephants & more! Thanks for putting up with our banter. Hope to see everyone again!

The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating…thank you Pinkie, Greta, Mduduzi and Mona Lisa for making us feel so welcome! Solomon, our game ranger, was incredibly knowledgable and made his best effort to find us some lions! We booked two game drives…one in the morning and one in the afternoon/evening but in retrospect we should’ve opted for the full day drive (including breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks) but we were worried the midday heat would’ve been too much for the 8 year old in our family. The highlight of our stay was the herd of elephant (including babies!) that came to drink at the watering hole (and the swimming pool!) on the premises…this was the only one of the Big 5 (no rhino in the park due to poaching) we saw during our visit but, note, we visited during the wet season which makes game viewing tricky! The decor was quirky and rustic…we loved sitting around the outdoor fireplace after dinner. The bush chalets were spacious, clean and comfortable but would benefit from some hanging space for clothes and additional towels. They’re is no WiFi in the rooms only in the bar area but this didn’t bother us in the least! The food was delicious albeit the selection was limited and unfortunately not everything on the menu was available. We missed out on breakfast on our first day as we weren’t aware that we had to preorder our meals but we were fed some delicious skillet pancakes and tea/coffee on our morning drive so we didn’t go hungry. I understand that they will be completing construction of a new restaurant after the rainy season which will hopefully provide more flexibility and variety. We had an unforgettable stay!

Very friendly staff, felt like at home. Amazing resort, very clean and beautiful facilities, lovely elephants by the pool, nice food at the restaurant!

I would have liked a little more vegetables/fruits "healthy" options at the restaurant. It was sometimes a little annoying to have to give your restaurant order in advance for your next meal as you don't always know what you would like but regarding the situation (eating early before safaris, big groups of people arriving at the resort) I understand it's easier for the kitchen staff to organise themselves
