Matobo Hills Lodge
9.4 (32 reviews)

Matobo Hills Lodge ★★★

📍 Matobo National Park Campsite, Matobo National Park, Matobo

"We went for the weekend 16-18th of February 2024 as a family and all I can say is WOW!! From the day we arrived till the day we checked out, the staff were exceptionally friendly. McLan and Valentine were incredibly helpful throughout our stay. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, the meals were good, the scenery was just out of this world. I’ll definitely be going back in the near future."

Matopo Ingwe Lodge
6.7 (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. "

Big Cave Camp
9.2 (34 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
9.9 (24 reviews)

Amalinda Lodge ★★★★

📍 matopos, Matopos, Matobo

"I cannot commend Amalinda and their wonderful, friendly staff enough. From the truly stunning architecture built in to the boulders, the fauna and stunning views. I genuinely had a lump in my throat as we were helped to our accomodation, it was spectacular, including a chain bridge to a separate balcony area. Everything was handled brilliantly by the staff in terms of your room. Food was fantastic and had a real communal vibe, with staff and holidayers socialising by the fire in the evening. What was an amazing touch was having your guide sit with you for meals, it was really lovely to know them better and learn of their fascinating amount of knowledge. Onto the guides, they really are the best in the world in Zimbabwe. Not only are they your incredibly educated guide for the bush but also your waiter, helper, protector and friend all in one. Our guide "Brightwell'." Truly is an amazing person and felt blessed to meet him, let alone be guided around the amazing places of Matopos. Honestly cannot recommend Amalinda enough for any possible reason you can think of. They really made us feel special and made our dream holiday come true."

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."

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!"

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 ★★★★
"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."
