Safari Overview

Journey through Zimbabwe’s past and present on this 6-night safari, where history and nature intertwine in the most extraordinary settings. Discover Hwange National Park, one of Africa’s most biodiverse regions, home to herds of elephants, prides of lions, and elusive leopards. Then, journey into the mystical Matobo Hills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in spiritual significance, with ancient rock art and towering boulders that tell stories of a time long past. This is a safari that goes beyond the wild – it’s a journey through the heart of Zimbabwe’s history. Spend three nights at Somalisa Expeditions and three nights at Khayelitshe House.

Somalisa Expeditions offers a secluded, off-the-beaten-path experience in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe’s largest and most renowned wildlife reserve. Enjoy thrilling morning and afternoon game drives, as well as immersive walking safaris that bring you closer to nature. Witness elephants up close at the in-camp Elephant Pool, where they drink during the heat of the day. For a truly unforgettable experience, spend a night under the stars at Somalisa Sleep-Out – a charming treehouse retreat overlooking a watering hole, just 15 minutes from camp. Become one with the wild at Somalisa Expeditions.

Next, venture to Khayelitshe House, an exclusive villa in Matobo Hills National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its dramatic beauty and deep spiritual resonance. Tucked among ancient granite boulders, the villa offers unrivaled views of the iconic balancing rocks, effortlessly blending into the dramatic scenery. Embark on rhino walks, hike to Rhodes’ Grave, discover the Khami Ruins, and observe ancient cave paintings up close – all paired with sundowners in the wild. With a private chef, guide, and host, your stay is personal, immersive, and unforgettable. At Khayelitshe House, discover luxury in the wild.
