Transfer to Bomani Tented Lodge near Hwange National Park

Today, you will be transferred by road to Bomani Tented Lodge. This is about a 2-hour drive.

There is also the option of doing this journey on the unique Elephant Express. A supplement applies and you will arrive later in the afternoon.

This Lodge is located just outside Hwange National Park. It is near the remote southern section of the park with only one other lodge nearby. This means there are very few other vehicles in the area making the game drives peaceful and exclusive. It is also close to the superb Ngamo Plains —nicknamed the 'Little Serengeti' by the local guides.

Activities include game drives and walking safaris. In certain months, you can also spend time in the look-up hide overlooking a waterhole. During the dry season, this offers some of the closest elephant encounters you will ever have. Cultural tours are offered as well.
