Somalisa Expeditions

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.
Somalisa Expeditions’ main area includes a lounge and dining area on raised decking which overlooks a small pool, which elephants have become habituated to drinking out of. Add to this, the waterhole, frequently used as a ‘mud-bath’ and a popular rendezvous for the elephants. The up-close encounters and photographic opportunities with these majestic animals are endless.
Consisting of six elegantly furnished Meru Style Tents, each tent has en suite bathroom facilities with an outdoor feel. Activities include guided walks lead by qualified and passionate guides who will share their knowledge and love of the bush with you, game drives and night drives. Wildlife sighting include elephant, kudu, sable antelope, zebra, wildebeest, gemsbok, the rare and endangered roan antelope, buffalo, giraffe, lion, leopard, hyena and many other wildlife species.

Camp Hwange

Ideally situated in a private concession in the North part of the Hwange National Park, just 3 hours and 30 minutes by road from Victoria Falls, Camp Hwange, one of the newest safari camps to be built in Hwange, consists of 7 comfortable twin or king size chalets and one family room which sleeps 4 guests. Camp Hwange offers the chance to have a unique experience with excellent safaris both by vehicle or on foot, plus the chance to do night drives. The guides, arguably are known for their love of nature and the wide open spaces, offer you a chance to discover the world where you are a part of the mosaic of life.

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.

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.

Rhino Safari Camp

Rhino Safari Camp is a small luxury rustic safari camp set in a wild and remote area within the Matusadona National Park on the shores of Lake Kariba. Hosting a maximum of fourteen guests in seven twin bedded rooms, our guests are offered a highly personalised safari experience that blends comfort and wildness. A permanent camp open year round. Respecting that we are the visitors in this wild environment, Rhino Safari Camp is unfenced and the wildlife roams freely on its established game trails. Guests are encouraged to relax and feel at home in the bush, with simplicity and classic hospitality, focussing on living in harmony with our environment and utilising silent energy alternatives as much as possible to create a peaceful environment to experience the sounds, sights and smells of nature.
