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. Discover luxury in the wild at Somalisa Camp as you experience close-up encounters with its most renowned inhabitants.
Embark on various safari activities including game drives, birding excursions, walking safaris, and cultural visits. Witness the Elephant Pool to enjoy remarkable, close-up encounters with elephants as they drink – all in a safe setting that forms a natural extension of the property. 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.
Somalisa Camp comprises seven beautifully furnished luxury tented suites that perfectly combine nature and sophistication. 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. Take in magnificent landscapes and search for majestic wildlife from the comfort of your own private viewing deck, ensuring a safari experience like no other.

Staff is always looking after you and food is curated and paired with great wine (South African wines). Medical personnel is present at the camp all the time.
We only had two nights at Somalisa Camp, but I wish we had more. It is a beautiful camp, the rooms feel very luxurious and everything at the camp was wonderful! It was great to be inside the park, and African Bush Camps has a great concession in Hwange NP.
Over last night, the team from Somalisa set up a beautiful sundowner spot, complete with snacks and mojitos (a special request). On our final morning when we could have slept in, I decided to go on a drive and it was the best drive of the whole stay, we saw a female leopard again and she had her cub, and then we got to see a large pack of dogs on a fresh impala kill, all on the camp’s private concession.
We have just returned from a fantastic three-night break at Somalisa main camp… We were made to feel like family from the moment we arrived and we had “pinch yourself” moments the entire time.
The hospitality and thoughtfulness of the team was unparalleled. The setting within the park is truly special and the accommodation was surprisingly luxurious and the beds were incredibly comfortable and we slept so well…
We came away feeling that we had made friends that we would want to return to visit in the future… This is a very special Camp, and we would thoroughly recommend it for anyone wishing to Travel to Hwange Park.

Thandanani, which means “love each other,” is a local sewing group run by women in the community of Dete, in Hwange. They make beautiful African print placemats, bags, robes, travel wallets, and clothes. Everything they make is unique and made with love.

ABCF is supporting the Mambanje community in Hwange. We renovated the classrooms and teachers accommodation, installed solar power, boreholes, and launched a nutrition program at the school.
