Iganyana Tented Camp

Share this post

Iganyana Tented Camp is situated on a private concession not far from the Hwange National Park’s Main Entrance. The luxury camp is managed, and owned by Terry and Sheona, who have been in the tourism industry 15 years. The camp is only a stones-throw from Hwange International Airport and the African Painted Dog Conservation Centre. Carefully nestled in amongst a beautiful teak forest, great effort has gone into making sure it blends in with the background and does not seem out of place in this beautiful environment. It overlooks an long-dry riverbed, surrounded by an open grass plain, which is the perfect position to maximise the natural game corridors. Iganyana is built from locally sourced materials and custom-made canvas tents, showcasing the natural elegance of classic safari style.

Natural walkways of compacted red river sand lead to the centre of the camp. Here, tall rain trees shade the large Bedouin tented dining and living area. This opens onto a large, raised wooden deck overlooking the waterhole. Below the deck is the Boma with a fire pit: the hearth and heart of the camp. A low, sculptural wall of twisted acacia boughs is all that separates you from the wilderness beyond. There are no perimeter fences around the property.

Each spacious safari tent has electricity, LED back-up lighting and air-conditioning; separate dressing area; an indoor sitting area; tea and coffee making facilities and double doors leading onto a shaded outdoor veranda. En-suite bathrooms feature hot and cold running water, flush toilets, double vanities, and indoor showers with gorgeous fluffy white towels. The bed linen is of a high quality, offering crisp cotton sheets, as well as soft robes and slippers. You will get a special surprise at your evening’s turn-down service when you find Belgian chocolates on your pillow and not just for the first night, but each and every night!

The camp is eco-friendly, with solar-powered hot water. The sturdy steel-framed tents feature a double layer of canvas for additional insulation and cool, polished cement floors topped with natural fibre rugs. The luxurious large tented rooms are elegantly furnished with lovingly restored antiques and locally crafted wooden furniture. On the whole an exclusive experience, with a total of only 30 guests at any time.

There are many game activities to choose from: guided game drives or walking safaris with highly qualified guides (these can be booked for morning and/or afternoon). A must do on anyone’s list is a visit to the Painted Dog Conservation Centre.

Iganyana is a new luxury camp, but it is most certainly the new “it” camp everyone is talking about. Whether you decide to go on each and every activity available, or just relax in your room, your stay will be most memorable, and you will leave feeling like you’ve

We had a fantastic experience with Bryony and her team. Bryony is clearly knowledgeable about the region and guided us through our options and the Lake Kariba houseboat booking and choices. We had a fantastic time and I would thoroughly recommend using Heartveld.

We have just had an amazing 6 nights on Tambarara houseboat organised by Heartveld Adventures. The boat was very comfortable and the staff were excellent. The captain, Reg, was very professional and helpful, the chef cooked delicious meals, the barman kept our drinks flowing, the cleaners left animals made from our towels on our beds at night and the guys on the tender boat were so good with the boys aged 3, 5, 7 and 9 showing them what to do and putting on worms, for us as well. Highly recommended.

The trip was all you could ask for when you want to relax and forget about the world. Captain Godrey and his team consisting Pilot, Chef Takesure and Silas made our stay comfortable and easy. The food was flavourful and filling. You couldn’t say no to Chef Takesure’s meals. Silas kept our cooler box ready every day because he knew we loved our drinks cold and first thing in the morning. Pilot and Captain Godfrey took us to amazing views, magical sunset cruises and helped me find all the crocodiles I was looking for. I totally recommend Heartveld Adventures for all your Kariba fantasies! ☀️⛴️🍹#February2025

Right from when I started researching the trip in November last year, Bryony has been an absolute star. Nothing was ever too much hassle, especially with the rigours of trying to effect payment then! Then the houseboat in Kariba! What an amazing trip we had on the Ponty, and once again Bryony organised transfers and things on the spot, awesome and a big thank you to you and Char, the Ponty was the highlight of our Zim Epic! I cannot recommend Bryony and Heartveld Adventures enough, was so good to meet you at Charara, Cheers and thanks again Glenn and Family.

Heartveld Adventures really goes the extra mile when it comes to customer service. They really think of everything that would be needed for a great holiday. We've been on Driftwood Houseboat twice and am going on the African Queen in September 24. Really is an amazing experience with amazing staff, very helpful and caring about your comfort and enjoyment. Thank you so much 💖

Came across Heartveld Adventures blog by chance whilst trying to plan a holiday adventure in Zimbabwe.Offloaded my thoughts to Bryony, and a well sorted package with more than I asked for was presented.Stopped looking all over the internet for any possible deals, as this was the DEAL.If your intention is to go to Zimbabwe and enjoy its hidden treasures whilst accommodated in places you wouldn't have thought of and known existed, then save yourself the trouble, and get hold of Heartveld Adventures. Their service is what makes the country keeps going.Well done Bryony
