A four to five hour drive or 40 minute charter flight from Victoria Falls, this authentic tented bush camp offers up old world African charm and elegance right in the heart of Hwange National Park.

Six elegantly furnished canvas tents sit along the edge of an ancient seasonal flood plain.  Each is decorated in a bygone, colonial style with ensuite flush toilets and alfresco bush showers.

The dining and lounge areas are nestled under a soaring canopy of acacia trees and offer breathtaking views of the savannah plains and the famous Kennedy Vlei line.

After the first summer rains in November/December the plains are ablaze with seasonal wildflowers, making this the most beautiful spot in the park. The dry season between May and October offers some of the best elephant viewing in Africa, with elephants seen right in the camp.

The passionate and knowledgeable guides offer game drives, guided walks, bird watching and evening night drives.  Expect to see elephant, kudu, sable, the rare and endangered roan antelope, buffalo, white rhino, lion, leopard, and hyena amongst other wildlife species.

Somalisa lets you explore Africa the way you have imagined: up close to nature with the romance of a true safari bush camp.
