Fantastic friendly and knowledgeable staff. The site has a wow factor built sympathetically into the granite rock environment. Food was excellent and I particularly enjoyed the atmosphere of all guests and staff dining together round one large table. The accommodation was excellent and stylish. At night time the starry skies were unbelievable! We booked the Rhino tracking activity and were not disappointed, seeing three rhino and tracking one on foot for a good 15 minutes. Our first time here but not the last for sure!

The dinner was exceptional. Cauliflower soup is life changing, meat was fantastic and the lava cake pudding was the best I've had since Bali. Breakfast was decent and the banter of the manager made the evening and morning meals super entertaining.
Not enough pudding!!!!!

Unbeatable location with a lot of privacy for each room, beautiful central hall for lunch & dinner. It was the perfect way to experience Matopo even if for 1 night! The staff was lovely and very helpful.
Wifi needs to be improved - given there is no cell network in the area, guests should have access to decent wifi

It's about Location, location, location! And the great staff. Embedded in one of the enigmatic rock heaps of Matobo this place is a one of a kind experience. The breakfast room has integrated one of the giant bolders as main wall. And every single hat has an amazing view over the landscape. The food prepared by the chef was great as well. And at night a gazillion stars twinkled above our heads. We loved our stay at the Big Cave Camp.
There was nothing we didn't like. But our tiny Toyota struggled a little bit to drive on the short dirt road to the hotel parking. But it was manageable in the end.

Such a stunning property in an even more incredible scenery. The staff was the kindest and most helpful, from the waiter to the guides, the chef, hotel manager Everard etc. I had an incredible stay with seeing four rhinos on my rhino tracking to top it off!

The location of the property was amazing, the peace and quiet
The fact that the internet was very expensive and you could only use the purchased wifi in the library. You couldn’t take it to your room. Which makes it difficult for parents or businesses people who have to always stay available.
