What a year! With Zimbabwe being voted by Forbes Magazine as the World’s Best Country to Visit in 2025, there has never been a better time to celebrate home. I was naturally excited to see my friends at African Sun honour this incredible recognition with a new locals-only promotion that gives Zimbabweans even more reason to explore the country’s top destinations. 

 

Special Zimbabwean Rates Across Four Iconic Resorts 

African Sun has rolled out special Zimbabwean rates across four of their properties, each offering a unique way to experience Zimbabwe at its best. 

  • Troutbeck Resort – Calm, cool, and beautifully serene. The newly refurbished rooms and the relaxed Sun Lounge make it the perfect mountain escape. 

  • Elephant Hills Resort – From golf and spa time to sundowners overlooking the mighty Zambezi, this Victoria Falls icon has so much to enjoy. 

  • Caribbea Bay Resort – Famous for its stunning lake views and laid-back charm. It’s the ideal spot for sunshine, cocktails, and family fun in Kariba. 

  • Hwange Safari Lodge – A true safari haven set on the edge of Hwange National Park, where wildlife and wilderness meet in breathtaking harmony. 

All four properties now have special rates available for Zimbabwean residents directly on the African Sun website making it easier than ever to plan your next local getaway.

Here’s What You Should Know About Hwange Safari Lodge

Hwange is one of those places that captures your heart from the moment you arrive. Set at the edge of the magnificent Hwange National Park, it offers an experience that blends wilderness, tranquillity, and modern comfort. The park itself covers more than 14,600 square kilometres, making it one of the largest national parks in the SADC region. It is home to over 100 species of mammals and 400 species of birds, a true paradise for nature lovers. Over the years, African Sun has beautifully transformed Hwange Safari Lodge into a space that feels both luxurious and authentically African. The renovations are stunning, from elegant showers and soft pillows to those subtle, thoughtful details that make each stay memorable.

When I last visited, I was struck by how peaceful the lodge felt. Watching elephants gather at the waterhole during sunset was a moment of pure magic, with the sky painted in soft golds and deep oranges. The sunset game drive was easily my highlight, offering breathtaking views of wildlife in their natural rhythm. The bush braai that followed was an unforgettable dining experience under the stars, filled with laughter and the sounds of the wild

With summer here, the poolside area is another favourite. It is the perfect place to unwind, cocktail in hand, while soaking in the warmth of the African sun. A relaxing massage surrounded by the bush completes the experience, offering the kind of serenity you only find in Hwange.

Now, About That Special, Darlings 

To make this experience even more rewarding, African Sun has introduced a locals-only special at Hwange Safari Lodge. See more about it here. Their Stay Longer, Pay Less offer means exactly that, the more you stay, the more you save. Stay for 3 nights and pay for 2. Stay for 5 nights and pay for 3. It’s such a lovely deal, giving Zimbabwean travellers extra nights to explore, unwind, and reconnect with the beauty of the wild. It’s the perfect chance to slow down, savour each sunrise, and fall in love with Zimbabwe all over again. This one is especially worth it for long stays and if you’re travelling as a group, even better. As we conclude our year-end strategies, it’s also the perfect time to plan a little baecation, friendcation, or some quality family time. With this offer, it’s an absolute steal.

As the year ends, we all deserve a beautiful break, a moment to pause, breathe, and celebrate how far we’ve come. Hwange Safari Lodge should be on your local bucket list.
