You will begin with two nights in Victoria Falls so that you might acclimatise and catch your breath, you can be as busy or relaxed here as there is plenty to do and of course it is your chance to see this wonder of the world. Your accommodation is one of our favourite hotels located centrally, in fact the closest property to the falls themselves. A lovely hotel with a range of rooming options to suit all tastes and it’s restaurant is known to be one of the best in Victoria Falls.
From there it is a short flight to Hwange National Park and your Somalisa Camp. Located within the park in a premium wildlife area, the camp has the feel of a traditional safari camp but with luxurious finishes. Tented rooms on slightly raised platforms, en-suite bathrooms with roll top bath, outdoor and indoor shower, private veranda and even a fireplace in the room for those cold winter nights. The main area offers a swimming pool and looks onto a waterhole that is popular with game.
Situated in western Zimbabwe, the Hwange National Park is the country’s biggest reserve, home to a profusion of wildlife, including giraffe, lion, zebra and approximately 40 000 elephants. It provides a sanctuary for all the country’s endangered species, including a population of wild dogs thought to be among the most sizeable surviving groups on the continent. The park’s magnificent terrain ranges from desert dunes, savannah lands and mopane woodlands to rocky outcrops and sparse forests. Visitors can look forward to game drives, guided walks or horse riding safaris. Other highlights include: the Bumbusi National Monument and the Nyamandhlovu Pan.
Somalisa Expeditions is set in the heart of Hwange National Park and is known as the land of the giants for its big elephant herds. As an exact replica of the original Somalisa Camp, Somalisa Expeditions offers one of the most authentic ways to experience this exceptional wildlife haven. Nestled under an incredible grove of Acacias, along the edge of a seasonal flood plain.
