Common Complaints

Airstrip-Specific Details: There is a notable lack of specific traveler reviews detailing the terminal facilities, amenities, security wait times, or customs/immigration experience *at Robins Airstrip (ZW-0045)* itself. The airstrip is primarily mentioned as a means of access to the camp.
Wi-Fi Availability: Wi-Fi is available only in designated areas and often comes with a surcharge. Some travelers mention needing to walk to access it.
Road Conditions: For self-drivers, especially coming from the Pandamatenga border post, the road on the Zimbabwe side is described as a "goat track" for about 45 km, requiring a 4x4 vehicle for travel through the park.
Limited Shade at Campsites: While new trees have been planted, some campsites can be hot and dusty, especially during the dry season, due to limited natural shade.
Heat and Mosquitoes: Hwange can be very hot, and the area is a malaria zone, meaning mosquitoes are an issue, particularly at night.

Overall, Robins Camp offers a highly satisfying and well-regarded safari experience for travelers, particularly those seeking a more affordable and family-friendly option within Hwange National Park. While access via Robins Airstrip is convenient for light aircraft charters, detailed traveler experiences regarding the airstrip's specific facilities, security, or customs processing are not widely reported, suggesting a more basic and functional landing strip rather than a full-service terminal.
