Big Cave Camp

Situated on a private estate in the extraordinary Matobo Hills, Big Cave Camp is a unique lodge built on to the granite hillside. It has eight simple A-frame thatch chalets, each with its own en suite bathroom and private balcony with panoramic views of the surrounding hills and valleys. The central living areas are designed around the natural position of some massive boulders. The Leopards Lair includes a teak bar, lounge and communal dining area. The adjacent library is a cozy retreat for those wishing to spend a quiet moment learning more about the history of the area.

The emphasis at Big Cave is on outdoor living with breakfast and lunch served outside. At night dinner is served around a traditional campfire with the magnificent backdrop of the Matobo Hills behind. Refuge can be taken during the midday heat in the nearby pool boma area where ice-cold drinks are served.
