I stayed at Big Cave Camp for 2 nights as part of a safari tour. This is one of the most unique locations I've ever stayed at. The camp is on top of giant granite hills, with overhanging rocks providing privacy for the cabins. The scenery is breathtaking, it made for wonderful evenings sitting watching the wildlife come to the waterhole at the bottom of the hill. Marshall and his team do a fantastic job of making everyone feel welcome. I'd highly recommend Big Cave Camp for anyone travelling through this part of Zimbabwe.

I can't imagine a better situated camp in Africa - up in the rocks, looking out over a peaceful green valley. The cabins are spotless and feel very up to date; the location is great for exploring the national park; it's extremely good value and the team are top notch. The food is solid and good rather than amazing - but it's all you need. We all loved this place.

The staff were welcoming and very friendly. The lodge was neat and the views amazing. It was good to have the freedom to walk around by ourselves and we got to see some rock paintings.

Big Cave is an excellent base from which to explore the Matopos or to simply view the fantastic scenery and bird-life without leaving the camp. The lodges are spacious and comfortable and the plentiful food is excellent. All the staff are helpful, knowledgeable and good company. The activities are also excellent value and the sunset drive is not to be missed.

the park and the slopes are really pleasant to drive and walk through. the drive to the setting sun on top of the rocks is incredibly beautiful. we enjoyed the guidance of a pleasant gis, Martin. the access and the last climb on the rocks to the reception of the lodge is fantastic

As a family of four we loved the accommodation with the lovely views. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. The pool area in the rocks was lovely and relaxing. The meals were delicious and well presented. The trip to worlds view and surrounds was excellent as was the sundowner on lightning rock. Well worth going on.
