The Siding is a project that holds a special place in Mike Johnson's heart – you could even consider it his second home given the time he spends by the campfire, admiring the leisurely strolls of elephants.

This unique location, nestled near the Gateway to Hwange National Park sits beside a magnificent Rhodesian teak tree. Here, you can greet the dawn with a cup of coffee or welcome the night with a cold beverage as you watch the sunset. This eco-camp features five tranquil dome-shaped tents, including one for families, as well as three free-standing ones.
It's a self-catering camp designed for adventurous souls but still adorned with creature comforts. Named after the railway track that has passed by for decades, carrying trains from Bulawayo to Vic Falls, The Siding eagerly awaits to share its captivating story.
Imagine yourself in this picturesque setting, where the crimson-breasted shrike serenades the early mornings, and around the campfire, tales are woven into unforgettable memories. We invite you to join us!

IMAGES of THE SIDING

Mike and Alex Johnson are the owners and hosts of The Siding and The Bayete Collection. After many years in the Hospitality industry they moved to Victoria Falls, and they have gone to extra-ordinary lengths to turn The Siding into the stunning and unique camp that it is today.

Emphasis on the design of the camp has been in an effort to promote keeping our impact on the environment to a minimum. Where possible we have reduced our footprint to leave as much of the natural surroundings as intact as possible.

The Siding

As part of The Bayete Collection, The Siding is dedicated to being as environmentally and socially responsible as possible. Sustainable tourism protects environments, respects local cultures, supports communities, conserves natural resources and minimises pollution.
