    It is a very beautiful place with Zebra Elephants Giraffes Lions Wildeebeasts Antelope Hares abd many more amazing animals. You can fish, canoe, bird watch, game drive, touch the Elephants and just sit and watch the sunset. Self catering is a good option. They have accommodation options to suit a variety of budgets. The swimming pool is beautiful and refreshing.

    I stopped over with the intention to grab a quick lunch with my family for a break on the way to Harare from Bulawayo. Service - very friendly and helpful Food - takes way too long if you’re hoping for a quick stopover. 3 burgers & chips took almost 40 minutes. I’d order again if not in a rush - chips were delicious, burger was a bit dry & lacked flavor but all in all not too bad ! Overall my experience was quite decent and I look forward to coming again and seeing all the wonderful game !

    This is a lovely place to have a romantic getaway or a family vacation. I stayed in the river tent? It was clean and the overall stay enjoyable. Staff are Knowledgeable on the surrounding flora and fauna. The game park has a variety of wild animals and the elephant interaction was the most exciting of it all. The food is so well cooked it was if it was home made. Thoroughly enjoyable experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this game park to anybody.

    Antelope Park is a great place. Although most wildlife here is under protection, lions for instance are kept in enclosures, which is a lot like a zoo. The food on offer is at best mediocre. However, staff is most friendly and go out of their way to help the visitors. Entry is US$ 80 per person which includes a guided tour of the estate and a buffet lunch. The great views are included. Worth a detour if in Zimbabwe.

    The standard' rooms are a disgrace to the place. The last time that we stayed in such a room, we paid one dollar a night and not $40. The standard room in Antelope Park was not only just two small beds in a tiny room, but linen was full of little 'crawlers' (upon our comment on that, we were told to just shake our linen), curtains a shame and the rest dirty. When we had reserved, we had been told that our room would be 'prepared'. I wonder what that must have meant. They could at least have checked if the linen was not too covered with insects. There is no bathroom. We knew we would use the ablution block with the campers which would be all right if that were not quite dirty as well and shared with a full campsite. Of the 3 toilets, one was not working. Worst of all was the location of these rooms, the view (none while the surroundings are large enough to have had a different concept), and the fact that it was just a concrete block with 'cells' (=monk rooms) . No wonder there was no one else in a standard room apart from a guide (maybe the rooms were designed for that purpose, but they should still be clean and not overcharged) . Camp site was full at $10 per person and by far a better choice : night in clean tent, close to the river. Upon reservation enquiry and even check in, they kept on trying to make us book a tent at the river for $85, also telling that the ablution block was too far (100 metres, while in fact it was maybe 30) and would be too full with all the campers. The truth is that their ablution block is absolutely insufficient for a campsite and about 10 rooms (or more?). I am very glad that we did not book a more expensive room because if our rooms were so bad and run down (and the ablutions), why would I expect more of another room in the same place. You know what 'clean' is, or you do not and they clearly do not.

    Beautiful place with views to kill for, well trained friendly staff, refreshing atmosphere and a must visit for anyone who enjoys nature and animals. The river tents are something to experience if you like camping and the outdoors. Also note at night you can hear the roar of lions which are kept a few kilometres from the main camp.

    I had short visit and it was fun. There are a lot of lions about 61 of them though they are caged but that was good to see them in a near wild environment. There are mostly large lions as they are currently not breeding at the park. They are well fed. i saw a few elephants, a lot of wilder beasts, antelopes, zebras and snakes. i missed on fishing as i did not have fishing gear. if you need to do fishing you will have to carry your complete gear. They got a scenic fishing spot.

    We visited Antelope Park for two nights in October 2022. It was actually our second time there, the first one having been in 2008, after they had just opened. It’s a great place for relaxation in beautiful natural surroundings mixed in with activities. We rented the Alert Lodge, which is a two bedroomed self-catering house that sleeps six people and has two bathrooms. It was very spacious, cozy, and even luxurious. Everything was clean and in great working order. Getting to Antelope Park using GPS can be confusing because Google suggests a dirt road that is no longer in use. Luckily, the park staff has put up a sign that says that it’s the wrong road and the correct road is also well sign-posted from the main road. When we checked in, we were assigned a guide, Sam. He helped us get into our lodge and presented us with the menu of activities on offer. They were: • Elephant interaction. You get to meet three elephants, pat them, and feed them. • Game drive. You see zebra, impala, wilder beast, and giraffes, and all manner of smaller wildlife like monkeys, birds, and monitor lizards. Duration 60-90 minutes. • Visit to the lion enclosures. There were 63 lions in the enclosures at the time. They are very impressive, even though they tend to stare at you like you were their dinner, which can be unnerving despite them being on the other side of the fence! • Horse back safari. You ride in a convoy in the game park and get very close to animals such as the zebra. Duration 45 minutes. • Horse riding lessons with an experience trainer. Duration 45 minutes. • Snake induction. There is a small snake house where you can meet all the snakes that are found in the wilderness such as the banded cobra and the black mamba. You even get to handle a small python who was very friendly. • Lion feeding. This apparently only happens on the weekends. • Canoeing. It could have been interesting because there is a lovely lake with plenty of birds, but this time it was so overgrown with vegetation that there wasn’t much room left for canoeing! The staff was working overtime, however, the remove the water plants. We did all the activities expect the last two and they were great. You pay for the activities separately, so it’s important that you come with a budget to cover those too. A good ballpark price is around 25 USD per head per activity with kids under 12 years paying 30-50% less. The overall atmosphere in the park is great and the staff is super friendly. If you want meals at the main restaurant, you have to book them in advance. The food is pretty good, and at least for us, there was plenty of it. There is also the option of eating at the coffee shop, which actually makes pretty decent burgers and all kinds of snacks. So overall, I recommend Antilope Park for anyone looking for a relaxing break in the nature. A two-night stay is probably a good duration. You could stay longer of course, but at that point, you would have exhausted all the activities.

    We went for a day trip, we called before but wasn't given enough information only to realize when we were there that the entrance fee was $10 for everyone including kids under 5 and for that $10, you could redeem it as a voucher and get a burger few fries and a can of cold drink. I feel that the entrance fee was a bit price and as for the food it's not worth the price. I feeling the front desk didn't give enough info as we didn't know that the activities are paid separately. It is a nice relaxing environment tho we did get a chance to explore the whole for it was pricey for us fellow citizens and also that they don't offer family combos. They do also have kidz corner with jumbinh castle and some kids stuff which I feel it's supposed to be free when you pay such entrance fee but it also $10 regardless of what time you arrived there. Maybe they must consider doing family combos Kids meal And kids half price. We felt like we we tourist or foreigners in our own country. However with the little that we saw, it is a beautiful place.

    Poor value for money in comparison to the rest of Zim... the first thing you notice when you get out of the car is the stench - the whole place stinks like smelly smelly wet dog, I guess because of the lions. We stayed in the standard room which was extremely expensive for a tiny room that only just fit two single beds. There is also no toilet in the standard rooms, incase you weren't told either. After arrival we were told that the toilet block near our room didn't have hot water but the showers on the other side of the hotel area did have hot water "all of the time", so we trudged over only to find that they did not have any hot water there either. The game drives are also incredibly expensive charging per person for the 1.5 hours that you get. They advertise a swimming pool which is infact currently a small green lake with no view of the bottom - perhaps they only clean it in high season but we would have enjoyed a dip. However, the service, staff and the surroundings (minus the stench) are fantastic. If money is not an issue for you and you're staying in one of the nicer rooms or lodges then I can imagine it would a nice family time.

    I visited antelope with my friend, our kids and our mothers. It was wonderful experience. The food was delicious and rooms are clean. I especially loved the serene environment and well groomed grounds. The grandmother's loved the elephants while the kids loved the horses and carriage..as for me, the whole package was just perfect and I wish I had stayed longer.

  • 3/5 stancy m. 3 months ago on Google New
    Views are great and the refurbishments done to the place are awesome. Had booked for the Christmas lunch. Waited a bit long to have access to the place as there was a queue at the gate. The antelope Park management should have added more staff at the reception so that the queue would have moved faster.

    I visited a few years ago. This place is doing absolutely amazing conservation work. Totally worth a visit if you are near Gweru, Zimbabwe

    Great customer care at Antelope park. We received a warm welcome from the reception, to housekeeping staff. Our tour guide Desire was well informed and went over and above to ensure we enjoyed the game drive despite the rainy weather. On the Elephant encounter they asked us what language we speak and they immediately switched to Ndebele once they learnt that we are ndebele speaking, which was a plus for us. The only small let down for me was that we saw a rat in our island lodge. However, given the accomodation is in the middle of the bush i guess such could be expected. Overall, it was a good experience.

    Took me long enough Antelope park🤦🏾‍♀️ were do i begin. We Arrived at 1 pm everything was good until it was room allocation time . They took us to some shabby , outdated place ,well i couldn't breath in that room. Everything was bad. It was not the Antelope park I see on social media and internet. The room was not an ensuite it had an outside toilet and bathroom . Well we kindly asked for a better clean, fresh , modern room atleast an ensuite . They were very happy to show us the worst room they have. It was dirty room, dusty , window seals looked like they wr last cleaned years before covid. This room was horrible . We went back to the reception happy to see some kind of supervisor or manager so we can get better and proper assistance but meeting this senior was the worst nightmare of my life . She did not give us a chance to say anything , Instead she had to say there are people who are coming so they were keeping the rooms for them . They told us to wait whilst they clean the room. This did not sit well with me , when I expressed my concerns she said and i quote “ we can give you a refund and then you look for accommodation in town” Really????? The other colleagues come to say “well we haven’t booked in those rooms in a while”🤦🏾‍♀️which means they haven’t been cleaned in a while🤷🏾‍♀️ , then she had to show us other rooms with bunk beds which were smelling paint😔🤯 well okay fine now 2hrs later since past 1 pm we jus had to settle for the first offer, stuffy room , with the bathroom outside well ( no proper lighting by the way scary as hell at night) Book at Antelope park at your own risk . This place is not what you see on internet. Book there with a plan B because instead of trying to solve the problem they will refund you money and you will be left with no place to sleep.
