Game viewing in Hwange

Game viewing in Hwange

Enjoy your days at the camp, tucked away under the dappled shade of an Acacia grove, along the edge of an ancient seasonal floodplain.

Animal sightings are magical moments, imagine sipping on your gin and tonic listening to the distant baritone roar of a lion coalition on the hunt and the next, you are gazing over at a congregation of elephants mere meters away, peacefully sharing a sundowner with you.

The camp elegant style is infused by natural wood and organic features of the bush. Kudhinda, the Zimbabwean national material, is thoughtfully paired with modern decor influences. A full solar power farm and water purity system allow the camp to recycle 80% water used, Somalisa Camp leads the way in eco-friendly safari accommodation.
