Miombo Mountain Lodge

Share this post

Miombo Mountain Lodge is a brand new luxury lodge located only a half hours drive from Harare in Christon Bank, on the Mazowe Road. The lodge has been cleverly built in amongst the natural Miombo Woodlands, providing a nice, cool and relaxing environment in which to unwind and refresh. The bird life is fantastic, and there is also unique flora and fauna around the lodge’s grounds and surrounding area.

The lodge’s central entertainment area is situated facing the Mazowe Valley, offering the most magnificent views across the valley. There are a variety of spaces where you can relax and enjoy the view, from the bar or dining area, to the comfortable seating area adjacent to this. The bar offers cold refreshments, as well as tea and coffee, throughout the day. But the most popular location at the lodge is a hard one to choose, either the gorgeous outside pool or the private spa, which offers not only manicures, pedicures, facials, and massages, but also has a custom built couple’s massage room too!

There are 3 different types of rooms on offer as listed below:

7 x Luxury Cabins
These A-frame style cabins are located to the left of the main entertainment area, with 3 cabins overlooking the Mazowe Valley, while the other 4 cabins have a view of the woodlands at the back, with impala and zebra regularly seen here.

2 x Suites
The suites are located off of the main entertainment area, and as well as being larger than the cabins, they have a better view of the valley and woodlands below.

1 x Honeymoon Suite
The honeymoon suite is also located off the main entertainment area, and offers the best view as it has windows on 2 sides of the room, which ensures guests have the wow factor view.

All the rooms have the following amenities:

  • Non-smoking rooms King, Queen or Twin Beds
  • Free Wi-Fi
  • Plug points
  • Private room safe
  • Superior bathrooms with a customized collection of toiletries
  • Linen and towels provided
  • Room serviced daily

Miombo Mountain lodge also has 2 conference facilities for companies wanting a unique location, not far from Harare. There is full cell phone signal at the lodge, as well as free Wi-Fi. Electricity is provided off the main ZESA grid, as well as with solar, and hot water is generated by gas geysers. The water at the lodge is from a borehole and therefore safe to drink.

The Lodge is open to the public for meals which are served in the dining area overlooking the valley, with a continental (buffet) and full English breakfast served from 07:00 until 09:00 in the morning. During the week an A La Carte menu is served from 12:30 until 15:00, with a set menu on the weekends. Dinner is always a set menu, served from 18:30 until 20:30.

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
