A New Standard of Hwange Hospitality, Since 1957
Thoughtfully designed for travellers who value calm, view, and the warm welcome that has defined Baobab for nearly seventy years
About Baobab
Nestled on Baobab Hill beside a baobab tree over six hundred years old, our fifty-room hotel looks out across Hwange town and the savannah beyond — the only hotel in town, and a comfortable base about 105 km from Victoria Falls and 100 km from Hwange National Park.
Stay With Us
Recently refurbished rooms designed for the long Hwange day — air-conditioned through the heat, calm at night, and dressed in the warm, earthy tones of the surrounding landscape.
Sundowner drives, guided walks, and quiet afternoons by the pool — our team can help shape a programme around your pace, whether you're here for two nights or two weeks.
Day trips into Hwange National Park, scheduled morning and afternoon game drives, and longer excursions to Victoria Falls and the Zambezi — booked from reception.
All-day dining from the restaurant, a well-stocked bar that has welcomed travellers for generations, and a boma for slow dinners under the stars.
Every Stay Feels Special
We turn ordinary moments into unforgettable ones. From personalized service to thoughtful touches in every corner — across fifty en-suite rooms designed around the Hwange day.

Restaurant & Bar
Honest Zimbabwean cooking, an everyday menu done well, and the weekend Tshisanyama that locals plan their week around — paired with a cold Zambezi from the bar
- 02.
Pool & Gardens
Two pools — one for adults and one for children — with summer and winter hours, loungers in the shade, and the cool centre of a Hwange afternoon on the hill.

Conferences & Events
An 80-seat conference room with projector, stationery, unlimited Wi-Fi, refreshments, three-course lunch, and morning and afternoon tea — on a quiet hilltop in Hwange.
A New Standard of Local Cooking
Experience dining where every plate is grounded in the place — locally sourced ingredients, honest Zimbabwean classics, and the weekend Tshisanyama that's become a Matabeleland institution
Leave the Rush & Climb the Hill
Step away from the noise of the road and settle into the slower rhythm of Baobab Hill. Here, every part of the property — from the platform to the pool to the garden — is designed to help you unwind.
“This is the place to be when in Hwange, built on the mountain top where you can have a beautiful view of Hwange town. Good food and well trained, young and energetic staff. Not to mention the swimming pool to quench the heat.”
