Where Wildness Whispers in Tranquility

Nestled within Zimbabwe’s untamed northwest, Daka offers a rare invitation to connect deeply with nature. Surrounded by pristine wilderness, guests are guided through some of the most remote terrain in the region—a landscape where every footstep uncovers the raw, untouched beauty of the land.

A Seamless Blend of Wilderness and Comfort

Daka Camps are thoughtfully designed to immerse guests in nature without compromising on comfort. Every element—from architecture to service—reflects a deep respect for the surrounding environment. From the moment you arrive, you're encouraged to slow down, breathe deeply, and move in sync with the rhythm of the bush. Let the sounds of the wild surround you, while enjoying personalised touches and exceptional hospitality that make every stay unforgettable.

Become One With Nature

Tucked into the rolling foothills of northwest Hwange, Daka Plains offers an intimate safari experience where stillness reigns and nature speaks. From its elevated vantage point, the camp gazes out across sweeping landscapes that stretch all the way to the Makgadikgadi salt pans. The air is rich with the scent of sun-warmed grass, and the ever-present springs offer a sensory connection to the life-giving rhythm of the Kalahari.

Discover Hwange

Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest, spanning 14,650 sq km of protected wilderness. Just two hours by road or a 30-minute flight from Victoria Falls, Hwange’s vast, diverse landscapes were once royal hunting grounds for Ndebele King Mzilikazi before being declared a National Park in 1929. Today, it stands as one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations.

Culinary Journey

Experience a world of flavour in the heart of the African bush, crafted by a renowned chef. Days begin with a light, energizing breakfast before your morning activities. Upon return, enjoy a generous bush-style brunch in the main area.

As evening falls, dinner becomes a highlight—served under a canopy of stars on the camp’s front deck, or beside the original stone fireplace on cooler nights. Following your guide briefing by the fire pit, sip a nightcap and reflect on the day’s sightings, accompanied by the chorus of the wild.

Immersive Safari Experiences

Game Viewing

At both Daka Plains and Daka Expeditions, wildlife is a constant presence. From your private deck, gaze out over the Deka floodplains as elephants drift silently through the grass, antelope graze nearby, and predators prowl in the distance. Whether at rest or on the move, you're always part of nature’s unfolding story.

Game Drives

Morning and evening drives venture deep into Hwange’s most remote corners. Led by expert guides, each outing offers the chance to track big game, encounter elusive predators, and witness the unpredictable drama of the bush. Every turn brings something new—a lion’s roar echoing through the trees, or a herd of buffalo rising in a dusty stampede.

Guided Walks

Step beyond the vehicle and into a world of detail on a guided walking safari. These slow, mindful journeys reveal the bush at ground level—tracks in the dust, the scent of crushed herbs underfoot, and distant calls overhead. Guided by seasoned naturalists, you'll uncover the delicate, interconnected stories of this ancient land.

Bird Watching

With over 400 recorded species, Daka is a paradise for bird enthusiasts. From fish eagles and hornbills to the vibrant lilac-breasted roller, the skies are alive with colour and song. Whether you're observing quietly from camp or scanning treetops on a drive, birdlife offers endless discovery—changing with every season and migration.

After Dark & At Leisure: Night Drives

When the sun sinks and the bush transforms, Daka’s private concession allows you to explore after dark—a privilege few safari-goers enjoy. Night drives reveal a secret world: sleek genets, prowling hyenas, owls on silent wings, and the occasional flash of eyes in the beam of a spotlight. It’s a thrilling, unpredictable chapter of your wilderness story.

Stargazing

Far from any artificial light, the night sky over Daka is a breathtaking canvas. After dinner, lie back on your deck or gather by the fire and watch the Milky Way stretch overhead. Shooting stars, constellations, and the deep silence of the African night create an experience both humbling and unforgettable.

Yoga in the Wild

Find your inner stillness in one of Africa’s most untouched corners. Yoga sessions are held on an elevated deck overlooking the floodplains, where the only soundtrack is the murmur of wind and wildlife. Whether welcoming the sunrise or unwinding at dusk, each session helps you connect body, breath, and the raw energy of the land.
 

Daka is not just a place you visit—it’s a place that stays with you. From its remote beauty and immersive experiences to its deep respect for the land, Daka invites you to slow down, look closer, and rediscover your wild side in comfort and peace.
