A private place

No lobby.
No strangers.

Khami is a private family lodge inside a wildlife estate on Bulawayo's doorstep. The point is not a long list of hotel facilities. It is having the place, the land and the rhythm of the day to yourselves.

Walk with the scouts. Fish a dam. Sit by the pool. Head into the city, the Khami Ruins or the Matobo Hills, and come back to your own gate.

Not a resort with a private wing. A private place, full stop.

The lodge

Your base inside the reserve.

Thatched living spaces, open decks, a pool and the sort of quiet that only really happens when there are no other guests. Meals and days can run around your group rather than a hotel timetable.

How each stay runs

Your own chef, butler, guide and vehicle.

You will have your own private chef, your own private butler, your own private safari guide, and your own private vehicle at your disposal to do whatever you like. We will give you recommendations, but the day is yours.

  1. 01

    Your chef

    Meals cooked for your group alone, at the times that suit you rather than a set sitting.

  2. 02

    Your butler

    One person running the practical side of the day: drinks, laundry, timing, whatever needs arranging.

  3. 03

    Your safari guide

    The same guide for the whole stay, working around what your group wants to see rather than a set circuit.

  4. 04

    Your vehicle

    Held for your group only. Out early, back late, or turned around whenever you have had enough.

We will put forward a plan for each day. What you do with it is yours to decide.

Meals

Served when you are ready.

Meals are cooked for your group alone and served when you are ready for them: around the dining table, on a deck, or by the fire, depending on the evening.
