In the heart of Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe, Verney's Camp is on a private concession that is not open to regular visitors and it blends modernity, comfort and exposure to incredible untamed wildlife.
Verney’s Camp is located in a remote southeastern corner of Hwange National Park, within a private concession that is closed to regular park visitors. This exclusive setting allows for a truly intimate safari experience, far from the usual routes and crowds.
