Warthogs Bush Camp, Kariba....
owned and run by Cameron Harvey Safaris

Warthogs is a small, friendly and secluded camp just outside Kariba town. The land was once a fish farm and the camp is named after the farm. Positioned among mature Mopane scrub on the shores of Lake Kariba, it’s a natural retreat for groups and overland trucks. It is situated within the only game corridor for some kilometers and as such often provides some unscheduled, ‘close-up’ game viewing.

The accommodation comes in the form of 8 thatched double, ‘A’ frame bashas and one bamboo and thatch room for a family. The bashas are designed to provide an ample sleeping area for a couple and their luggage. They are  raised off the ground to keep them cool and bug free. We also offer limited space for camping. Double mattresses, mosquito nets, bedding and lock-up trunks are provided in each basha.  The family unit has 4 single beds.

There are hot/cold showers and ladies and gents toilets.  And although we are situated right next to billions of gallons of lake water, the camp water supply is actually municipal and is therefore perfectly safe to drink.

There’s a large central kitchen/dining room and braai area for cooking, plus other small braai areas around the camp for those that wish to do their own thing. The camp has a supply of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans for your use.

For the energetic we have a floodlit volleyball pitch....however, please take note; hippos have total right of way during any game! No camp is complete without a swimming pool and although ours is not of Olympic proportions it's a welcome cooler, especially in the summer months.

Nearby is The Giraffe’s Head - the camp's bar and game viewing platform. We will soon be opening an internet booth here. The bar runs  on a ticket system. We also sell basic items such as braai packs, tea, soup and cigarettes. There is a phone available if people want to phone for taxis, doctors etc or organise activities.
