Muddy Teak

Zimbabwe, Hwange National Park

Muddy Teak is an exclusive-use safari camp nestled in a private concession in Hwange National Park — Zimbabwe's largest reserve and a beloved symbol of national heritage. It plays host to the largest population of elephants in Africa, alongside hundreds of mammal species, including the iconic Big Five and a variety of antelopes that can be seen grazing and prancing along the golden horizon.

Open from May to November, the dry season draws wildlife to gather at precious water sources, making this the peak time for wildlife viewing. The camp is well-positioned overlooking a large watering hole, providing front-row seats to a spectacle of animals as they come to drink and bathe in the waters. An ideal climate of cool mornings invites you to warm up with a hot coffee before setting out on your morning safari, while mild afternoons usher in a warm glow of sunlight and draw more active wildlife onto the plains — perfect for donning your sunglasses and hat.

As a private camp, Muddy Teak is ideal for groups seeking to enjoy a personalised safari with their friends and family. It offers classic safari excursions with exclusive access to a private guide and vehicle, inviting you to tailor your experience — whether it's an early morning walking safari or a romantic sundowner game drive.
