A classic bush retreat at the heart of elephant country
Tucked beneath a grove of acacia trees on a private concession in Hwange National Park, Somalisa Camp offers an authentic safari experience with all the charm of classic tented style. This award-winning camp from African Bush Camps is renowned for its intimate atmosphere and exceptional guiding, offering guests a front-row seat to Zimbabwe’s largest and most diverse national park.
Hwange is famous for its large elephant herds, and Somalisa sits near a natural waterhole where elephants frequently gather to drink, often just steps from the camp’s deck. The camp’s location on a private concession allows for guided walking safaris, thrilling game drives, and night excursions that bring the wilderness to life in every direction. From lions to painted wolves, buffalo to sable antelope, Hwange’s diverse wildlife is always close by.
The camp itself blends rustic luxury with thoughtful sustainability—featuring wood-burning fireplaces, copper bathtubs, and solar power throughout. With a relaxed, friendly vibe and strong conservation values, Somalisa is ideal for adventurous travelers, couples, and families seeking a deep connection with Zimbabwe’s wild soul.
