Big Cave Camp

Big Cave Camp - " The safari lodge on the rocks"

Find solitude within an intimate retreat

Big Cave Camp reposes atop an enormous granite whaleback, commanding inspirational views across the famous Matobo National Park. Sophisticated African architecture incorporates colossal boulders into a luxuriously appointed thatched lodge positioned amidst ancient Khoisan rock art. 

Retire at a day's end to the natural rock-pool and sundeck, the Leopard's Lair lounge and bar, a cave-style boma for pre-dinner drinks or the popular lodge library. The eight thatched A-frame cottages, each with en-suite bathroom and private balcony, resonate African creative flair.

Find solitude within an intimate retreat as secluded as the original Kalanga grain bins that nestle amongst the rocks. Escape to a hidden gem bordering Matopos National Park, where tranquility meets the untamed beauty of Matobo Hills Wilderness. A place where tranquility blends with adventure. Guests are collected from Big Cave's car park on arrival and driven in a 4X4 Safari Vehicle for check-in atop a massive granite boulder.  Experience exquisite 360-degree views of Matopos National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Start your day with incredible sunrises atop Big Cave Ridge with exquisite views overlooking Matopos National Park. Explore ancient Rock art Cave Paintings and Rhino Trekking on foot among balancing rock formations where wildlife, landscapes and cultures merge.
