Facilities
Developed Campsites – These are serviced campsites which come with built-up Barbeque points, washing area, Ablution blocks with Flushing toilet, running water, and hot showers. There are three main ones which then have smaller campsites around each. These are located at Chipinda Pools, Chinguli, and Mabalauta.
The exclusive camping sites –do not have much in terms of facilities. Each site has a fire pit and a long drop toilet (Blair toilet). They are usually found close to natural water points but campers carry their own bathwater to the campsite for bathing, cleaning, etc. These sites shift annually depending on the availability of water in the pans in the central area of Gonarezhou where these sites are found.
Wilderness Campsites – these also known as the rugged bush campsites do not offer fancy facilities as well. They offer a lot of privacy as they are not so popular. They also offer barbeque are and Blair toilet only. Campers are advised to be extremely careful to leave no litter or disrupt the natural environment.
