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.
At Somalisa Camp, experience the wild intertwining with timeless luxury.

What can you say other than Wow! Location, Staff, Food, Game Drives, Animal Sightings, all were amazing.
Mike was our guide, his knowledge and nonstop willingness to track the animals was over the top. 10+
As we arrived the departing guests warned us we would be leaving with a heavy heart. They were right. We so enjoyed our visit to Somalisa. From the start the warm welcome continued throughout the stay.
Camp host Sam was brilliant- lively, engaging, thoughtful and professional – we were in good hands. Her team were excellent and anticipated our every need/wish! The location is fantastic – two water holes , one so close you can (safely) count the elephant’s eyelashes!
Calvet our guide was so knowledgeable and interesting; we thoroughly enjoyed his company and learnt so much. The food was great – best boma breakfast ever and we were only late for dinner once because of elephant outside our room!!
We left with a heavy heart and some wonderful memories!
Zimbabwe allows for a more intimate discovery of its wildlife and flora within its parks, which are among the most beautiful but less frequented. Somalisa Camp perfectly illustrates this approach.
The service is very attentive, the food unexpectedly high-quality given the isolation, with a real chef in charge and a nice list of local wines.
The quantity and variety of animals present in the park is impressive: elephants, lions, giraffes, gnus, various antelopes, zebras….You can get as close as 2 or 3 meters.
Meals are served at a communal table, which allows you to interact with other participants. A special mention for Sam, the camp chef, who makes this establishment a uniquely outstanding stop.
The Mambanje community garden is empowering and enabling the community to grow and produce crops that they can harvest to feed their families and sell to generate economic activity. The garden has 50 beds 3x3m that can support 50 families.
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. Items are available for sale at the ABC trading post in our camps.
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.
