"Our stay in Gwango was nothing short of magic! From the moment we were picked up at the airport we were treated with warmth and kindness. The chalets are extremely well designed, and the resort is impeccable.
I can’t even decide what my favourite part of this trip was, as each interaction, and each attention to detail surpassed all expectations.
The resort in a short 5 min drive from the Hwange national park and to see elephants drink from the waterhole next to the property and monkeys climb the trees around is surreal!
Our safari trip was also magnificent. Our guide Ngozi (I hope I’ve spelt his name right!) was so knowledgeable , calm and friendly and we got to see elephants, zebras, giraffes, lions, hippos and many interesting birds and wildlife.
I wish I could have stayed there longer! Beautiful place made even more special with beautiful people! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️"
"The staff was so friendly and thoughtful. They went out of their way to make sure our anniversary was incredible. The owners even can and had dinner with us the night we arrived. Ngasha was an incredible hostess/bartender, chef Kevin was amazing in the presentation and quality and taste of food, Fortune our guide was incredible and very intelligent and resourceful. Victor was excellent too. "
"The lodge is amazing and we got to see elephants during the day and night next to our room. They quoted us a ridiculous amount for transport from/to Vic Falls so we had to make our own way there for a third of the price. There were more people going to Vic Falls the same day so I feel they could make an effort to make transport easy, fair and eco-friendly for their guests.
Apart from that, we loved the lodge and the safari experience was amazing. We would have loved to stay more nights. Patrick was a great guide and spotter so 5 stars to him."
"I used to work at this property some time ago. The property has deteriorated significantly with lack of attention to detail, shower cubicles not holding to walls for example loose electrical cables and lamps in dangerous condition.
The bed itself was very comfortable and equipped with electric blankets which were essential for that time of year.
Despite arriving much later than expected and well after dark, fires were lit, water heated and a meal cooked very quickly for us. However, the bar was very limited with only local lager or coke available. It should be noted there was also no menu to choose meals from, you just have what is put in front of you and these were very much in the style of local food cooked the way locals cook it. This is certainly not up to international standards if this is something you expect from such a property.
The staff were absolutely wonderful and so eager to please. Nothing was too much, from arranging game drives to having our vehicle washed before departure.
Despite the disappointment about the state of disrepair the property was in and the food options, it was still hard to leave.
