Somalisa Acacia Camp

Nestled amongst Acacia trees in the vast Hwange National Park lies Somalisa Acacia Camp. Authentic and traditional, this safari camp is private and exclusive, when full, only accommodating 12 guests. The suites are luxurious and comfortable with unique wooden and brick features running throughout, and a wood burner fireplace which guests can snuggle around on a cold night. A large sparkling swimming pool sits in front of the main area of camp overlooking the watering hole, so guests can relax in the pool keeping an eye on wandering elephants and thirsty animals. A unique boma fire pit sits next to the pool, so after a long day exploring the national park and dining on fresh and local food, guests can gather here and sit under the wide starry sky and immerse themselves in the sights, smells and sounds of Hwange.

Camelthorn Lodge

Bomani’s sister camp, Camelthorn Lodge, is located within a private reserve on the edge of Hwange National Park. Camelthorn Lodge backs onto a woodland area, the trees creating a natural shelter. The eight forest villas are designed to maintain a comfortable climate through both the summer and winter months, and their location in a remote section of the Ngamo Plain means that guests can enjoy a private and exclusive safari experience in a tranquil setting. The lodge is built around an ancient Camelthorn tree, incorporating the trunk in its design as a centrepiece. Less than a kilometre away, the local wildlife congregates at one of the waterholes maintained by the lodge. Here, guests can watch the elephants as they play and bathe in the water, hidden in an underground blind which offers incredible photographic opportunities for capturing the perfect candid shot.

Deka Camp

Deka Camp is an exclusive safari camp situated in the far northwest of Hwange National Park, resting on top of the low foothills which offer spectacular vistas as far as the eye can see. Arguably the most remote camp in the region, the chances of running into other guests is slim as you explore the wilderness in search of meandering plains game, with the likes of elephant, buffalo, sable, roan, giraffe, wildebeest, impala and even gemsbok readily awaiting adventurous eyes. The private concession allows for around the clock game drives, ushering new experiences after dark. The small camp consists of eight units, made of thatch, local rock and canvas. Ideal for taking the whole camp for groups, facilitating intimate adventures away from the crowds. The style of the camp is local rock and canvas walls with thatch roofs, featuring hot and cold running water, flush toilets, comfortable beds with first class linen and extensive patio views. The camp is designed to blend with the environment and the style compliments this.

This prime wildlife viewing location offers frequent sightings of concentrated plains game, featuring many staple safari creatures such as lion, cheetah, giraffe, sable antelope, greater kudu and many more.

The ecosystem here is semi-desert akin to the Kalahari in neighbouring Botswana. Ancient windblown fossil sand dunes are separated by shallow valleys where elephant paths have compacted the terrain, offering the optimum environment for prime game viewing. Accommodation is comprised of twin and double tented units, both featuring comfortable beds and an en-suite bathroom with an al fresco shower and a private deck for slumber stargazing. Come and experience the bounty of Hwange for yourself.

Little Makalolo Camp

A charming, intimate camp in the south-east of Hwange, “Little Mak” features prominently on the mental maps of local wildlife, all drawn to its reliable waterhole. A log-pile hide affords unique, thrilling close-up views of elephants, and habitat diversity ensures year-round wildlife. Activities focus on game drives and morning nature walks. The many waterholes produce amazing sightings, or guests can relax in camp and wait for wildlife to come to them. The six spacious en-suite tents (including a family tent) are only surpassed in the experience stakes by the opportunity to sleep out at the Madison Pan star bed.

Linkwasha Camp

Linkwasha Camp lies in a private concession near the Ngamo Plains in Hwange National Park. Hwange is known for its prolific summer or green season game viewing, and Linkwasha adds an extra dimension during the dry season, when wildlife streams to drink from the pan immediately in front of the camp. Nine luxurious en-suite tents (eight twin and one family) make this the most exclusive of Hwange’s camps. The multi-level main area shares the same unimpeded views, and day and night safaris in open 4×4 vehicles, walks and village visits let guests get to know their neighbours, both animal and human.

Robins Camp

Robins Camp, now under private new management, offers an exciting revival of the iconic safari destination in Hwange National Park. Robins Camp is situated in the rugged northern Basalt area of the park, an area rich in natural water with seeps and springs dotting the area. It is the home to some of the last great buffalo herds in Africa, with herds of over 2000 still seen. Given the abundance of prey animals, it is no wonder that it also has the highest concentration of lion in the Park. Robins is also known for big populations of reedbuck, roan, sable and tsessebe as well as the usual herds of elephants and other species encountered in the Park. Particularly encouraging are the regular sightings of both Cheetah and Painted Dog. The scenery of Robins is varied with hills, kopjes (small bouldered hills) and vlei (grassed plains that flood seasonally) areas and has a lot to offer the wildlife enthusiast. We welcome children of all ages and guests can self-drive or choose a fully guided trip.
