Hwange National Park Extra Information







Project Accommodation:

You will be based at the beautiful Miombo Safari Camp, which is situated on the Border of Hwange National Park and a 10km drive from the entrance gate to Main Camp. The volunteer accommodations at Miombo have recently been renovated and as such, volunteers have the benefit of brand new facilities.

You will share a room with no more than four other volunteers or young staff members. Boys’ dormitories One and Two share a common ablution block whilst the girls have their own en suite bathroom facilities. The volunteers have their own dining room and recreation room where DSTV, a library and various interactive games are available. The camp itself has tree and ground lodges, which are occupied by photographic tourists and all are set beneath a towering canopy of magnificent indigenous African trees. Use of the lodge swimming pool is extended to volunteers.

Project Meals:

Miombo is quite a busy safari camp and is a popular stopover for overland groups as well as the more up-market client. Meals are of a high standard and there is always plenty of food. Your home-from-home mother/cook, Gladys, will ensure that you never go hungry.

Breakfast may consist of full English fare (cereals, eggs, bacon, sausage etc) or fresh fruit and yoghurt and scones.

Lunch may be, either cold meats and salads, burgers or lasagne – usually something not too heavy as the daytime temperatures can be quite high and this diminishes your appetite.

At night, you can expect a three-course meal consisting of soup, the main course with vegetables in season and always, a delicious dessert.
