A four-tent camp available strictly for private-use bookings only, overlooking a natural waterhole with resident lion, elephant and sable antelope — its own private guide and vehicle, and unfettered access to the entire Camp Hwange concession.
Muddy Teak is a strong fit for the Safari Privé Diamond class. Booked only ever in its entirety, it offers flexible, unfettered access to the Camp Hwange concession with a private guide and vehicle for the length of the stay, and a reservoir-style pool reserved solely for the booking group. Its waterhole setting, shaded by overhanging teak and ordeal trees, delivers meaningful, near-constant wildlife encounters — elephant processions, a resident lion pride, sable antelope — visible from the bed or the outdoor shower. It sits just below Diamond Reserve because it is structured as a four-tent camp rather than a single unified residence, even though the entire camp, its guide and its vehicle are private to one group alone for the duration of every stay.
About the Property
Set back in the shade of overhanging teak and ordeal trees, Muddy Teak's four large, beautifully appointed tents look out over a natural waterhole that draws endless afternoon elephant processions from the surrounding woodland, along with a resident lion pride and herds of impala and sable antelope — views available from the bed, or from the outdoor shower.
Available only for private-use bookings, Muddy Teak grants guests flexible, unfettered access to the entire Camp Hwange concession with their own private guide and vehicle. A cooling reservoir-style pool integrated into the raised decking, and a fire pit for dawn coffee and evening gatherings, belong to the booking group alone.
