À vivre

A charming tented camp reflecting the pioneering spirit at the heart of the safari concept, Deteema is the ideal place in Hwange for an intimate wildlife experience, away from the crowds, with an expert guide.
Set in the north-western sector of Hwange National Park, in one of the park's richest wildlife areas, Deteema Springs Camp blends beautifully into its surroundings of rock and savannah, made up of rugged hills and natural underground water pools that remain untouched.
This remote region sees far fewer visitors than other parts of Hwange.
The camp is bordered by savannah and wooded areas, rich in wildlife. Perched on a hill overlooking the permanent Deteema springs from which it takes its name, the camp is simple and comfortable. The presence of these waters draws wildlife close to the camp, and sightings nearby are excellent. Leopard, lion, African wild dogs and herds of elephants are regular visitors. You have a front-row seat!
In addition to 4x4 safaris, guided walks are an integral part of the activities offered at this camp.

Layout

Small and intimate, Deteema Springs Camp offers, in a unique style, 8 tents raised on stilts (including one dedicated to families).
The main tent is slightly elevated to offer a view over a natural spring, an essential water source in the region. Watch the near-constant procession of wildlife or take in the view from the lounge and dining room.
A small pool is available to guests.
Solar energy is favoured here, and the campfire remains the heart of the evening's entertainment.

Rooms

Deteema's eight safari tents are decorated in a simple, ethnic style, with green canvas walls, and are spacious enough to comfortably accommodate twin or double beds, along with an en-suite bathroom with flush toilet and shower.
Like the main area, the tents are raised on large wooden decks overlooking the Deteema springs, ideal for watching wildlife and nature.

Activities offered

Experienced guides will introduce you to the wildlife during 4x4 or walking safaris (from age 16, at the guide's discretion).
