Just a 45-minute flight from the mighty Victoria Falls, Somalisa Camp is a standout Signature Experience. As one of Southern Africa’s most biodiverse regions, Hwange National Park is teeming with wildlife and is home to healthy populations of elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, and African wild dog.

Additionally, experience an enthralling night under the starry sky at Somalisa Sleep-Out – a romantic treehouse retreat overlooking a watering hole just 25 minutes from Camp.
Nestled under the dappled shade of an Acacia Grove, Somalisa Camp blends elegant design with the organic elements of the bush. Kudhinda, a local Zimbabwean fabric, is paired with modern decor influences to create an authentic yet contemporary African style. Enjoy luxurious amenities such as the inviting bar, the swimming pool with views of the Elephant Pool, the cozy firepit, and the serene, shared lounge area. Embracing sustainability, the Camp (which is run entirely on solar power and features a water purification system that recycles 80% of its water) proudly holds the first GOLD Green Tourism Certification to be awarded in Zimbabwe.

Each suite features a wood-burning fireplace, a copper slipper style bath, a lavish king-size bed, as well as an indoor and outdoor shower.

At Somalisa Camp, experience the wild intertwining with timeless luxury.
We loved our stay at Somalisa Camp. The accommodations were so comfortable. They have beautiful decking all around the camp and allow for spectacular views of the elephants who come right up to the large pool as well as 2 watering holes right off the deck. Thabs the host was very attentive to our needs. We also went to an elephant blind where we could see the elephants at a watering hole up very close. We probably saw 6-7 different herds come through. Our room was very nice and comfortable. One nice touch they had was morning coffee delivery.
We had an exceptional time at Somalisa. Everything from the setting upon arrival to the welcoming and helpful staff was amazing. The main area was beautifully decorated and laid out with stunning views over a waterhole and an abundance of wildlife could be seen at any one time. We had a small pride of lions sleeping under the chalet next door to us when we arrived. The rooms are fantastic well thought out and beautifully furnished – again the views and wildlife just kept coming. The wildlife viewing was exceptional, lions, elephant, leopard, buffalo, bat eared fox and a plethora of antelope species. We left a piece of our hearts in Hwange.
Our stay at Somalisa was magic! It was our last stop on our African holiday and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. The lovely welcoming staff (who were also great with our kids), the great amenities and the amazing food made it a holiday we won’t forget.
It was our first time in Africa, and we stayed at this camp on our second leg of the trip. From minute one we walked in, they made us feel special. The staff is absolutely amazing, constantly trying to make the experience unique, something they achieved. The cabins have a somewhat old but charming air and it is easy to observe elephants from the terrace and common area, as they go to the pool to drink. Hwange Park is very beautiful, but it is not easy to see animals, unless you find Bheki, our guide. His knowledge of the environment was wild, his passion for his work and getting us to leave having seen the big five impressed us I can have no words but thanks to the whole team.
