Eco-Luxury Safari on a Private Concession in Central Hwange

Somalisa Camp is an intimate, award-winning, and eco-conscious luxury tented camp situated on a private concession in the heart of Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe. Known as the “Land of the Giants” for its elephant herds, Somalisa offers six elegant suites that overlook an active waterhole. The camp is famed for its unique “Elephant Pool,” where herds frequently gather to drink, and for expert guiding on both game drives and bush walks.
